In the shouted words of a woman bound for Auschwitz to a man about
to escape from a cattle car, "If you get out, maybe you can tell
the story! Who else will tell it?" Our Crime Was Being Jewish
contains 576 vivid memories of 358 Holocaust survivors. These are
the true, insider stories of victims, told in their own words. They
include the experiences of teenagers who saw their parents and
siblings sent to the gas chambers; of starving children beaten for
trying to steal a morsel of food; of people who saw their friends
commit suicide to save themselves from the daily agony they
endured. The recollections are from the start of the war the home
invasions, the Gestapo busts, and the ghettos as well as the daily
hell of the concentration camps and what actually happened inside.
Six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and this hefty
collection of stories told by its survivors is one of the most
important books of our time. It was compiled by award-winning
author Anthony S. Pitch, who worked with sources such as the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum to get survivors' stories compiled
together and to supplement them with images from the war. These
memories must be told and held onto so what happened is documented;
so the lives of those who perished are not forgotten so history
does not repeat itself. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade,
Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to
publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.
Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like
Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as
well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne
Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of
World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales
of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish
becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we
are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked
and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
