Voices from the Holocaust

Description:

As editor of this collection of survivor testimony, Sylvia Rothchild transcribes 650 hours of conversation and focuses her book on three main areas: life before the Holocaust, life during the Holocaust, and life in America. Stories told by survivors from Greece, France, Hungary, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Italy, and Austria give readers a real sense of the agonies and heartaches inflicted by the Third Reich on European Jews. The message of all these survivors, however, is the same. People today must remember the past and learn from it. Recommended for high school students.
