When They Came to Take My Father

Fifty survivors of the Holocaust tell their stories in this unique compilation of text and superb portrait photographs of the survivors as they are now. Some endured concentration camps, some passed as non-Jews, some fled, some fought in the underground. From Germany to Greece, from Romania to Denmark, every country touched by the horror of the Holocaust is here. Punctuating the narratives are essays by Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, Eva Fogelman, Yaffa Eliach, Anne Roiphe, and Abe Foxman, each focusing on the effects the Holocaust has on life today. This powerful collection forms a moving, unforgettable testimony to human dignity. View Less
