What I find most memorable are the individual stories of survivors, whether they are written or oral. There is something about reading or listening to a person telling their story, in their own words, that makes it very personal and unforgettable. Although I will add that the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC is very, very powerful, almost emotionally overwhelming.

I do think The Diary of Anne Frank is the most notable for me-it’s the piece of literature I most associate with WWII and it was one of the first. When an almost teenage girl reads that story, it makes a big impact. Please enter me in the giveaway!

I’m surprised that no one mentioned Vitkor Frankl’s classic bestseller, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” named one of the Top 10 books in America by the Library of Congress! I also would like to call attention to a book, “The Aftermath: A Survivor’s Odyssey Through War-Torn Europe,” by Henry Lilienheim. Henry’s daughter, Irene Lilienheim Angelico, a dear friend and colleague, produced a documentary film, “Dark Lullabies,” that was inspired by and based on her father’s book, “The Aftermath.” Both the book and the film focus on the children of survivors and of perpetrators of the Holocaust. Polarized as their heritage, many of this generation share a legacy of silence. Irene, an award-winning Canadian filmmaker, is herself a child of survivors of concentration camps, and undertakes through her film, a deeply personal journey; she asks, what happened, and why? Her documentary, “Dark Lullabies,” was named one of the Top-25 documentaries of all time by the National Film Board of Canada.

There are several pieces of media which represent the reality, horror and human resiliency of the Holocaust. Eli Weisel’s Night and the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC present stories of the truth of this horrific action in human history.
