After the success of Forgotten Voices of the Great War, Lyn Smith turns to the oral accounts preserved in the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive to reveal the sheer complexity and horror of one of the darkest moments in human history. The great majority of Holocaust survivors endured profound physical and psychological wounds, yet even in this bleak period of human history, stories of faith, love, and courage can still be found.
In addition to revealing the history of the Holocaust as experienced directly by its victims, these testimonies also show how, even while enduring the harshest conditions, degrading treatment, and devastating family losses, hope, the will to survive, and the human spirit continue to shine through.
