Twenty years ago, my wife and I visited Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The experience left us profoundly affected. The horror and it's sheer scale was something that could not easily be dismissed from our minds.
In a week or two Hobart Books will be publishing a memoir from Sharon Zajdman, whose mother survived the Holocaust and who lived a long, productive life, telling her story.
Sharon's book was just too good to go unpublished and it is a genuine honour to be able to play a small role in the remembrance of those terrible events - events which are still, for now, in living memory. In this dangerous world with its bias and mass communication, there is new generation who need to be educated about anti-Semitism and about racial discrimination in general. The mistakes of the past could easily be repeated but some knowledge of the Holocaust might just make someone think again.
