Publisher Description
Following the success of Forgotten Voices of the Great War, Lyn Smith visits the oral accounts preserved in the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive, to reveal the sheer complexity and horror of one of human history's darkest hours.
The great majority of Holocaust survivors suffered considerable physical and psychological wounds, yet even in this dark time of human history, tales of faith, love and courage can be found. As well as revealing the story of the Holocaust as directly experienced by victims, these testimonies also illustrate how, even enduring the most harsh conditions, degrading treatment and suffering massive family losses, hope, the will to survive, and the human spirit still shine through.
Customer Reviews
Forgotten Voices of the Holocaust
Excellent read although very harrowing at times. Reading the transcripts of those who suffered is very emotional and you really do empathise with the victims, but you can never really imagine how they truly felt. Books like this one should be read worldwide, to educate people of what monstrous acts really occured and ensure it never happens again. If you're contemplating buying the book-just do it. You won't ever forget it. Praise to all those who contributed and managed to live their lives as bravely as they have, theyre the real heroes of the war.
