Time’s Witnesses: Women’s Voices from the Holocaust

‘If we had held one minute’s silence for each of the six million Jews who were murdered, we would have remained silent for twelve years.’ Blanche Major. In Time’s Witnesses: Women’s Voices from the Holocaust, Major and nine other Jewish women testify about their horrific experiences in Auschwitz, Theresienstadt, Bergen-Belsen and other Nazi camps.This book tells of humiliation, hunger, death and despair, but also of dignity, unity and hope-and an indomitable will to live. Each woman’s experience is unique; yet their reflections share a common hope for reconciliation and understanding. They are a testament to the Nazi atrocities and a caution for the future. Theirs are stories the world must never forget.
