"Holocaust"

Paper Summary:

The writer explains why, in his opinion, "Holocaust" by Angela Gluck Wood has contributed a thorough and emotionally balanced perspective on the events of isolation, encampment and genocide that were obsessively pursued by the Nazis. The writer examines a review of the book by the Publisher's Weekly and concludes that the horror of the death camps stays with the reader of Wood's text, a proof that she has effectively delivered in appropriate detail the realities and implications of the Holocaust.

From the Paper:

"For some who are living today, the memories of the Holocaust, life during the time of the Holocaust or the experiences which would reverberate from it even decades later are still fresh. The indelible scars which the atrocity branded onto the world are continuously perceptible in an artistic, literary and cultural tenacity which has persisted to remind the collective of its responsibility to pay honor to the victims of its worst conceits. But as more times stretches between the systematic murder of 6 million Jews as it transpired throughout Eastern Europe in concurrence with World War II and the first-hand cognizance of such horrors in present-day witnesses, it will become increasingly more difficult for historical observers to properly contextualize the precious testimonials which are currently available and the shocking statistical breadth of events directly there related."
