The First-Ever Audio Documentary of the Holocaust as told by the Survivor's and Witnesses

Narrated by Elliot Gould, this four-CD set is almost exclusively comprised of the voices of Holocaust survivors. As they tell their stories, the nightmare of the Shoah-the attempted annihilation of all Jews in Europe-unfolds as a living memory of one of mankind's most horrific periods. All these stories are first-hand accounts of Jews from this period. Some, of course, were very young at the time, but many were adults living a "normal" life before the Nazis imposed their will. They are true witnesses, and in various voices--some measured and calm, some choking with emotion--they tell their stories. We are taken from the time before the war when life was relatively idyllic, through the persecution and eradication of Jews, to the re-establishment of Israel as a permanent Jewish state. There are far too many stark and dramatic anecdotes to single one out, but to hear an American soldier, the only Jew in his company, describing the sight of railroad cars full of skeletons-the only sign of life being a few eyes moving-makes abundantly clear the absolute horror of the Holocaust. For these survivors, the Shoah is not merely history, but an unforgettable, permanent part of their beings. Through their remarkable voices, we are reminded that this evil was in fact witnessed, and with powerful documents like this, should never be forgotten. Rhino Records should be commended for this project and for understanding that the deep eloquence of a single human voice can serve as the most powerful testimony of all. – - Wally Shoup

5.0 out of 5 stars - ESSENTIAL, HISTORIC AND HONORABLE

ByAlan W. Petrucellion December 31, 2002

Format: Audio CD

Simply said, this is one of the most important collections to ever emerge on the spoken word scene -- the first, and only comprehensive audio documentary of the Holocaust, as told by survivors and witnesses. The four CDs feature first-person accounts (drawn from more than 180 interviews recorded between 1988 and 1998), traditional music of the era and solid narration by Elliott Gould. An accompanying 100-page hard-bound book includes complete transcripts, historical (and often disturbing) photos and suggested activities and questions for parents and teachers to use to help explain the horror and its repercussions to children. Rhino must be commended for donating a generous 12% of royalties from the sales of each set to the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. An essential to everyone's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars - An astounding journey

ByA customeron September 6, 2000

Format: Audio CD

Most material on the Holocaust is depressing, sad, dark, and not something that I find myself jumping up and down to purchase. But because I am a historian I usually buy the material because of work-related reasons. This package, Voices of the Shoah, was different than anything I have ever seen or heard relating to the Shoah. It moved me, it inspired me, and it allowed me to safely transport my thoughts and imagination back to Jewish life before WWII. Thank you so much for making an amazing piece. Plus the book is beautiful too.
