"This is where my ashes are supposed to have been",
By
This review is from: When They Came to Take My Father: Voices of the Holocaust (Hardcover)
This is a rather different book on the Holocaust.It is the summaries of the interviews carried out with 50 people who survived the Holocaust.These interviews were done in the mid 90's with survivors who are in their senior years;many who were born over 80 years ago.Several of the people were the sole survivor of a large family.Included are excellent portraits of all these people.It is obvious that they have heavy hearts when remembering the terrible injustices they experienced. Some of the thoughts expressed: "We were counted like gold,treated like s---." " know that the bulk of them went straight to the gas chambers because I saw it that day kneeling on the stones." "The hope of everyone was to see the Germans beaten." "The sign of a free man is being able to keep your hands in your pockets." "We were loaded on cattle cars-jammed full-and shipped to Auschwitz." "It was a daily lottery with death,and I happened to win." "If they nail me,you can have my shoes." "Those who say we should forgive and forget,have nothing to forgive and nothing to forget.I cannot forgive,I cannot forget." NEVER AGAIN!
