An astounding journey

"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."
ESSENTIAL, HISTORIC AND HONORABLE

"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."
