Images from the Holocaust: A Literature Anthology

by Jean E. Brown, Elaine C. Stephens, Janet E. Rubin

Selecting literature to convey the essence of the Holocaust is difficult because there was no standard Holocaust experience. Each person who experienced the Holocaust - whether victim, witness, resuer, or descendant - has a unique story to tell. Selections for this anthology include fiction (both short stories and excepts from novels), poetry, historical accounts, biographical sketches, and drama. Each entry is preceded by a brief biographical note about the author and an introduction. In addition, each chapter opens with material that provides historical context for the selections that follow.

[Peregrine 12 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hard to review a book like this. In a world that is quickly forgetting the 20th Century, though, I think that stories and poetry will become even more important than when they were first written. That's an odd thing to write, I realize, but in the past year I have heard two young people say, in all seriousness, that the Holocaust never happened. So I keep, and read, books like this for a reason.
