5.0 out of 5 stars
Important and comprehensive new book, Aug 15 2005
By Bibliophile - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Life in the Ghettos During the Holocaust (Paperback)
This is an amazing book, very comprehensive, informative, and powerful. Life in the Ghettos During the Holocaust has some moving sections by Holocaust survivors like William Samelson, Charlotte Opfermann, Agnes Kadar (interviews with Hungary survivors) and Diane Plotkin (interviews with Polish survivors). My favorite chapter was the one by Samelson; it was fantastic. These segments are magnificent and would be very helpful to students who want to learn from actual survivors what the Holocaust was like; it would also be good for professors who teach the Shoah to students. The book also has in it some great chapters by John Roth, Stephen Feinstein (art during the Shoah), Michael Berenbaum (Warsaw Ghetto Uprising), Eric Sterling, and Wendy Lower and others. One of the many things I like about the book is that it covers the Holocaust in Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, and even Shanghai. This is one of the best books about the Holocaust and would even make a great textbook for teachers.

A moving and informative work, Jan 3 2007
By book reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Life in the Ghettos During the Holocaust (Paperback)
Every chapter of this great book is moving and special, contributing to the knowledge of the Holocaust. The chapters by survivors are superb and significant; their stories need to be told and shared. These are testimonies of great heroism and courage, in a situation in which one mistake could cost these people their lives. In a time when there are sinister conferences in Iran and elsewhere that falsely indicate that the Shoah never existed, these accounts demonstrate unequivocally the truth. Samelson, Kimel, Kadar, the Warsaw ghetto survivors, and the late Charlotte Opfermann are true heroes whose life stories are finally written down--thanks to this book--to be shared with readers for generations to come. I highly recommend this book.
