Synopsis

The Holocaust Series

"Why do you think you survived? Because you are smarter than those who died? Because you are better? No. You survived for one reason: you are lucky."

This insight from Abba Knovner expresses a feeling shared by many of the Jews and so-called ‘undesirables’ who survived the Second World War. All were threaten with death by the ‘Final Solution’, the Nazi policy of mass murder that killed nearly six million people in what we now call the Holocaust.

The Holocaust series explores key topics about the Holocaust. This book, Survivors of the Holocaust, presents a wealth of first-hand accounts from survivors of all kinds – those who lived through the war in hiding, in ghettos, in camps, by escaping or in active resistance to Nazi rule. It shows how many Holocaust survivors found their own ways through unimaginable hardship and suffering to find new lives of purpose and dignity.

Each book includes:

- First-hand accounts
