About this product

Product Information

A landmark oral history - the latest in the bestselling and award-winning Forgotten Voices series. Following the success of FORGOTTEN VOICES OF THE GREAT WAR the series now chronicles one of human histories darkest hours.The author comes to the project following her significant work in recording the experiences of Holocaust survivors for the Imperial War Museum sound archive - one of the most important archive of its kind in the world. The intertwined moving and revealing interviews reveal the sheer complexity and horror of the Holocaust. The great majority of survivors suffered considerable physical and psychological wounds, yet the overall story is far from being just gloom and doom. There are many poignant vignettes describing acts of charity, reciprocity and kindness in the face of the most extreme form of barbarism.As well as revealing the story of the Holocaust as directly experienced by victims, these testimonies also illustrate how, even enduring the most harsh and degrading conditions and treatment as well as suffering massive family losses, hope, the will to survive and the human spirit shines through.

  • Terrible times

    So many stories. There is just so much you can take on board. How awful to caught up in those dreadful days. One cannot imagine having to deal with the constant fear of death hanging over you day in day out simply because you were Jewish. Yet even today there is racism. Mankind has learnt little it would seem.

  • People's history

    This is the Holocaust by the people who lived through it. From the first changes in Germany to the post war era. It is a story of suffering and endurance and survival against the odds. Man's inhumanity to man. It should be heard.

  • Everyone should read this

    I am a big fan of the "Forgotten Voices" series. There is nothing more accurate than the words of those who were actually there. Bought this book after I returned from a visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau.
