Forgotten Voices of The Holocaust: A new history in the words of the men and women who survived by Lyn Smith

5.0

Heartbreaking but so important. I'm not sure the format of the book is the best one possible - perhaps it would be better to read each person's story uninterrupted. Instead, they are presented as loose paragraphs or short excerpts, grouoed by theme or similar experience, e.g. forgiveness, life in the ghetto, persecutions etc. This book contains stories of many great individuals, among others, Lili Stern-Pohlmann. Presenting the individual statements in this form does really allow to show the variety of experiences and the victims' reactions to them. It's a very valuable source, maybe not from an academic point of view, but from the human, personal one.
