To Tell Our Stories: Holocaust Survivors of Southern Arizona

by Raisa Moroz

During World War II's Nazi onslaught, six million Jews were systematically and brutally killed. Yet millions survived, their lives altered permanently by the terrors they faced. After the war, many left long-established homes to settle in Israel and the United States, hoping for renewal. These are the stories of survivors who have made Southern Arizona their home. Each is an intimate slice of the Holocaust as it occurred throughout Europe and the Soviet Union. And each story is a dedication to loved ones and friends lost and brutalized during a portion of history that has since defined 20th century history and modern-day genocide.

[Joy Schmidt · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book of first-hand stories from holocaust survivors. It is a collection from those men and women who moved to Southern Arizona. All the stories portray the horror these people went through during World War 2. I am impressed with their resiliency and perseverance throughout horrible circumstances and conditions. I admire their willingness to share their stories with the world. I looked up this book at our local library after I learned of it at an event where several survivors told part of their stories in person.

Incredible stories of the Nazi inhumanity of Jews who fled during WWII from Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. The inhumanity was incredible.
