A his­to­ry of the Holo­caust based on inter­views from the sound archives of the Impe­r­i­al War Muse­um in Great Britain and the Unit­ed States Holo­caust Memo­r­i­al Muse­um in Wash­ing­ton, D.C. has been han­dled in an inter­est­ing and use­ful man­ner. Approx­i­mate­ly 160 peo­ple have con­tributed their tes­ti­mo­ny, a few of whom are Chris­t­ian. Each tes­ti­mo­ny has been divid­ed among the pro­gres­sive stages of the tragedy: 1933 – 1936 Per­se­cu­tion; 1937 – 1939 The Search for Refuge; 1939 War; 1940 – 41 The Third Reich Expands; 1939 – 42 The Ghet­to (i); 1943 – 1944 The Ghet­to (ii). 1940 – 1944 The Camps (i); Resis­tance; 1944 – 1945 The Camps (ii); 1945 Death March; 1945 Lib­er­a­tion; After­math. These divi­sions are not­ed here because they serve as an excel­lent time­line or guide for teach­ing and exhib­it and togeth­er pro­vide a com­pre­hen­sive view of the Holo­caust expe­ri­ence in each coun­try. The Epi­logue is inter­est­ing as well. Sur­vivors bit­ter­ly reflect on their par­ents’ and their own expe­ri­ences, reflect­ing in the Lega­cy sec­tion that they will ​“nev­er get rid of it; we will die with it.” Still, for many years, sur­vivors could not talk about their expe­ri­ences. Some­times their spous­es didn’t even know that they were Jew­ish or that they had been vic­tims of the Holo­caust. In most sur­vivor fam­i­lies every­thing was mea­sured against their par­ents’ Holo­caust expe­ri­ences — chil­dren felt ashamed to com­plain about any minor dis­tur­bance in their lives. When doc­tors take a med­ical his­to­ry of sur­vivors, they (the sur­vivors) have no clue as to what ill­ness of old age might be in their fam­i­ly when most did not die a nat­ur­al death. For­giv­ing and for­get­ting is dis­cussed as well. This is a sec­tion that could be used with Simon Wiesenthal’s The Sun­flower. While many of the pho­tographs appear in oth­er books, there are sev­er­al that are new to this review­er. An index and sug­gest­ed read­ing bib­li­og­ra­phy round out this volume.
