Nearly eighty years have passed since the Holocaust. There have
been hundreds of memoirs, histories and novels written about it,
yet many fear that this important event may fall into oblivion. As
Holocaust survivors pass away, their legacy of suffering, tenacity
and courage could be forgotten. It is up to each generation to
commemorate the victims, preserve their life stories and hopefully
help prevent such catastrophes. These were my main motivations in
writing this book, Holocaust Memories, which includes reviews of
memoirs, histories, biographies, novels and films about the
Holocaust. It was difficult to choose among the multitude of books
on the subject that deserve our attention. I made my selections
based partly on the works that are considered to be the most
important on the subject; partly on wishing to offer some
historical background about the Holocaust in different countries
and regions that were occupied by or allied themselves with Nazi
Germany, and partly on my personal preferences, interests and
knowledge. The Nazis targeted European Jews as their main victims,
so my book focuses primarily on them. At the same time, since the
Nazis also targeted other groups they considered dangerous and
inferior, I also review books about the sufferings of the Gypsies,
the Poles and other groups that fell victim to the Nazi regimes. In
the last part, I review books that discuss other genocides and
crimes against humanity, including the Stalinist mass purges, the
Cambodian massacres by the Pol Pot regime and the Rwandan genocide.
I want to emphasize that history can, indeed, repeat itself, even
if in different forms and contexts. Just as the Jews of Europe were
not the only targets of genocide, Fascist regimes were not its only
perpetrators.
