A recent poll done by the
Roper Organization showed that 38% of adult Americans and 53% of high
school students either "didn't know" or offered incorrect answers when
asked what the term "Holocaust" refers to. A similar survey done by
Chicago's Spartacus College of Judaica asked high school students what
they thought life was like in 1941 in the Warsaw Ghetto. Typical
answers included:
"No one had their own room."
"Only black and white TV."
"No snacks between meals."
"No air conditioning." and
"Only two pairs of jeans per person."
This book was written in 1946, immediately after the Holocaust occurred.
It is a detailed account of Rywka Rybak's experiences starting from the
beginning of the war thru the liquidation of the concentration camps.
This book was lost for thirty-seven years until it was recently
rediscovered, translated, and published with the hopes of helping
educate people as to what life was really like during the Holocaust.
The more educated we are about the atrocities of the Holocaust, the less
likely we are to repeat it.
