| Publisher Description: Seventy years and at least three generations have passed since the abomination of the Holocaust was inflicted by the Nazis on the Jewish population of eastern Europe. And yet the singular horror and monstrosity of those events does not fade with time, and nor should it ever. As this book goes to press, the headlines of the New York Times announces yet one more of the perpetrators brought to justice (Demjanjuk Convicted for Role in Nazi Death Camp; May 12th, 2011). Behind the Barbed Wire vividly and eloquently records the memories of one who lived through, and miraculously survived, the Nazi atrocities inflicted on Latvian Jews during WWII. This graphic, at times harrowing and always mesmerizing true account should be required reading for all who hold hope that mankind will never again witness such depravity. |
