The Holocaust

De: James Bulgin

Narrado por: John Telfer

During the Second World War, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population - six million people.

In some parts of Europe this represented the complete annihilation of entire households, families and communities. Those who survived were forced to live their lives in the shadow of an incalculable loss. They, and the generations that followed, have each had to confront the aftermath of this destruction in their own way.

Based on IWM's ground-breaking new Second World War and Holocaust Galleries, this audiobook examines the development of the Holocaust as it appeared to those who witnessed it. By telling the story of the Holocaust through objects and their owners, this audiobook highlights the devastating human cost of the genocide and helps listeners to understand one of the darkest periods in modern history.

Exceptionally Detailed for Length

This is a very short book. Compared to most volumes in the Holocaust it is minuscule. However in spite of this, James Bulgin manages to incorporate the most pertinent information and also personal details from camp survivors. It’s a precarious balance but he does it well. Excellent all around book and wonderful narration!!
