Förlagets beskrivning
Nine Holocaust survivors and victims of Nazi tyranny have"e;taken the stand"e; to give their testimony as a legacy for futuregenerations. They are from five different countries and werepersecuted for reasons of ethnicity, politics/ideology, or religion. All in all, they were interned in fifty-one camps or institutions. The catalog of questions, unique in the world, consists of 100questions from 61 schools and universities in 30 countries on 6continents, as well as from the United States Holocaust MemorialMuseum in Washington, D.C. What is truly innovative about this bookis that all the Holocaust survivors were asked the same questions. Asa result, a point-for-point comparison of their answers is possible. Those whose voices are heard range from an average housewifeand an unskilled laborer to a fashion designer, from those who havebeen relatively silent to active Holocaust teachers and to survivorswho have already been widely featured in the media and whoselife stories have even been the subject of Oscar-winning films. Two of them have already passed their 100th birthdays
