Reviews"The Stories They Tell: Artifacts from the National September 11 Memorial Museum delves behind ephemera collected from the site to produce a curatorial record of why the objects were selected for display and what they reveal. This tasteful and enlightening book, by Clifford Chanin and Alice M. Greenwald, two museum executives, ranges over crushed fire trucks to personal artifacts, like a crumpled $2 bill, that bring dark memories and heartening heroics to life. The museum, Ms. Greenwald writes, "is a place to learn history in the very location where the events took place." The journey to the bedrock, seven stories down, passes remnants of the fallen towers, which she writes "stand as touchstones, embodying collective memory and inviting an encounter with the authentic." ~ The New York Times "...an inside look at the poignant personal artifacts that will go on display at the still-under-construction 9/11 Memorial and Museum. The Stories They Tell gives readers a first chance to see the museum's exhibits, while also telling the stories of survivors, first responders and families who lost loved ones." ~ DNA "Rizzoli is joining the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in preserving and telling the stories of the artifacts from the attacks...the book serves as a sort of accompaniment to the 9/11 memorial with in-depth descriptions and photos of objects that were left behind in the remnants..." ~ DoobyBrain

SynopsisThis poignant selection of artifacts--and their stories--from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath. From crushed FDNY trucks to the steel that was pierced as planes struck the Twin Towers, from victims' property pulled from the wreckage and returned to families (who later donated the property to the museum) to spontaneous memorials collected from around Ground Zero, the array of objects tell complex and often surprising stories. Poignant artifacts as monumental as the Vesey Street staircase--which offered an escape for thousands fleeing the towers--and as intimate as a loved one's wedding band or last recorded phone message are selected to illuminate people's experiences during and after September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993. The mission of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum is to bear solemn witness to the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center. The museum honors the nearly 3,000 victims of these attacks and all those who risked their lives to save others. It further recognizes the thousands who survived and all who demonstrated extraordinary compassion in the aftermath.
