First, as an historian I have been delighted to see the growing importance of oral history, a much needed counter point to the grand narratives of the powerful and public. My second interest in the book is a more personal and passionate one.

    My father is a Pole and though he avoided German brutalities he was taken by the Russians as a 17 year-old soldier on the Eastern Front. He flew in the Polish Air Force until the end of hostilities. Through my Polish family I have leaned much about the personal horrors of war, starvation, concentration camps and cultural annihilation.

    But this repository of the past is fragile and needs to be recorded and read. Thank you Richard Lukas.

    Others, isolated from the Jews' experience and ill informed of that horror, were understandably preoccupied with their own survival in the face of brutal condition intended ultimately to exterminate or enslave the entire Polish population.

    From time to time, there are vague and unsubstantiated accusations that Poles did not do enough to assist the Jews during the German occupation of Poland and the ensuing Holocaust. This book is a collection of eyewitness accounts of both the Holocaust and of Polish assistance to Jews.

    And, remember, that in Poland, unlike other German-occupied countries, the death penalty was imposed for the slightest assistance to Jews. I thought this book was an ok read, but I wouldn't request just any old person to read it.

    I really liked how the people in the book explained the Holocaust and how it affected their lives. It amazed me what these people had to go through just to try to live and have a normal life. I also liked how the people explained what they did to live in specific details.

    What I didn't like about the book is how the people would talk about stuff a person like me would want to hear about, like, "your doing this for Poland",I mean not to be stuburn but I wanted to hear more about blood and gore. Write a review Rate this item: Preview this item Preview this item.

    Holocaust Remembrance Day: Israel stops to remember six million victims

    Should public schools teach both creationism and evolution? How does religion influence our political stances on gay marriage? The issues are real. The emotions are intense.

    The solutions are difficult to reach and often problematic. Efforts to establish the proper balance between church and state create heated debates in America and raise seemingly insoluble questions. Politicians and their advisers walk a fine line when addressing religious issues in an increasingly pluralistic society where religious factions attempt to impose their values on the electoral and legislative processes. The Future of Religion in American Politics presents thoughtful, wide-ranging essays by twelve eminent public intellectuals and scholars, offering rich and stimulating views on one of the most divisive issues of our time.
