Every student of the Holocaust knows the crucial importance of
survivors' testimonies in reconstructing the crime. Most such
accounts, however, were recorded years or even decades after the
end of World War II. The survivor narratives that make up this
volume, in contrast, were gathered immediately after the war. In
1946, Russian-born American psychologist David P. Boder interviewed
109 victims of Nazi persecution--the majority of them Jews--in
""Displaced Persons"" camps across Europe. The thirty-six accounts
collected here possess an immediacy and authenticity that might
otherwise be questioned in memoirs penned long after the events
they detail. These interviews encompass survivors from Poland,
Lithuania, Germany, France, Slovakia, and Hungary, ranging in age
from their early teens to their seventies. Their remarkable stories
shed light on such controversial subjects as relations between Jews
and neighbors or strangers who extended or withheld aid,
opportunities for and obstacles to Jewish resistance, the victims'
knowledge--or lack of knowledge--about the fate that awaited them
in Nazi hands, survival strategies, women's experience of the
Holocaust, the Nazi practice of placing prisoners in charge of
their fellow inmates, and the liberators' postwar treatment of
freed concentration camp inmates. In an introduction, Donald Niewyk
describes this extraordinary interviewing project and traces the
overwhelming obstacles Boder faced in finding an audience for the
survivor narratives he collected.
