Why read it?
1 author picked Survivors as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first had the privilege of reading Survivors when we were searching for a new professor of transnational history in my department at Durham University; Rebecca is now a treasured colleague, and her ability to tell these child survivors’ stories is second to none! Her writing is humane, passionate, and exquisite. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand the impact of the Holocaust on those who survived it as children.
From Helen's list on childhood in Nazi Germany.
