Life After the Holocaust
In  the seven years after World War II ended, an estimated 80,000 Holocaust survivors fled Europe for the shores of New York. Now, in brief and extended audio clips, six of those survivors tell what it was like to begin life anew on the other side of the ocean. The survivors—five from Poland, one from Czechoslovakia—speak candidly about feeling angry with God, raising American children who didn't want to hear of the past's horrors, and coping with the constant presence of those who were lost. Curated by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the exhibit is beautifully designed and intricate. But the character and timber of each speaker's voice are what makes the site such a moving tribute to the "vital role of remembrance" in all of our lives. (in The Holocaust) |
