Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations

This book, based on a photo exhibit launched at the United Nations, movingly records memories and reflections from Holocaust survivors as they revisited Nazi concentration and death camps, as well as the thoughts and feelings of teenage visitors to those sites as they came to grips with the horrors that the Nazis inflicted on Jews, Roma, gay and disabled people, and others. "Image after image, story after story, statement after statement attest to the commitment of both survivors and students to build a world far different from the one Hitler sought to shape," writes Rubenstein, national director of March of the Living, an educational program aimed at helping younger generations understand the Holocaust and Nazi atrocities. This volume is highly recommended as an educational resource and inspiration for any reader. (Oct.)
