"Survival in Auschwitz" by Primo Levi is an excellent book as is "Schindler's List" by Thomas Keneally (originally called "Schindler's Ark" and published before the film) - and for a terrifying look at the organized banality of evil try the massive classic "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer!. I think the Holocaust is one of the defining moments in human history (and one of the defining moments, certainly, of the last 200 years)!. It's lessons must be learned - as we can see, they are not!.!.!.so it goes in Rwanda and Darfur and will continue to happen!.!.!.!. I suppose the Holocaust teaches how to remember our shared humanity even in the face of our own stinking humanity!.!.!.how to shoulder on!.!.!.!.it was not the first horrible event, nor will it be the last - but we can take hope from survival and from the future which is unwritten!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I am 50 years old and learned about the Holocaust in 5th grade when I had to read The Diary of Anne Frank!.
