The survivor's stories - read their own words, hear their own voices

Between 1938 and 1945, six million Jewish men, women, and children were killed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators. For many, the sheer enormity of the crimes makes it difficult to imagine.

Here historical information combines with moving first-person accounts to give you the full story. Maps, charts, and timelines provide eye-opening context and the testimony of survivors featured in the book and accompanying DVD take you behind the statistics.

Produced in association with the Shoah Foundation: a major US Holocaust memorial and tolerance education organization, with a foreword from Steven Spielberg.

Discover the faith and courage that guided people through one of the darkest hours of the modern age.
