This essential collection is the first to present such a large number of biographical profiles of survivors for a broad readership. "Holocaust Survivors" comprises 278 entries on more than 500 survivors of the World War II genocide. The profiles, averaging 500 words, are mostly of Jews, both individuals and family members, from throughout Europe. Organised alphabetically, the essays cover their background, circumstances and ordeals during the war, aftermath, and life achievements, including family and career. Most subjects are ordinary people who have extraordinary life stories. Many stories come from interviews with the survivors by the author. Survivors profiled include: Marie Blum-Albert, a Belgian Jew who smuggled hundreds of Jewish children to safety; Abraham Foxman, who spent his pre-school years in Lithuania in hiding, cared for by his Polish nanny who had him baptised as a Catholic; Reilli Herchmer, a Sinti (gypsy) fugitive who as a young girl delivered messages for the resistance underground, and survived the Ravensbruck camp; Victor Klemperer, the Dresden professor whose diaries describe his life as a Jew in Nazi Germany; Sam Nussbaum, a Jewish-Polish plumber who survived a Nazi labour camp; and Halina Wind Preston, who survived by hiding in the sewers of Lvov. Excerpts from primary documents and quotations are interspersed in the text. Suggested reading or references per entry are included where possible. The text is complemented by an historical introduction, chronology, resource guide, lists of entries, photos, and comprehensive index.
