This is a very nicely produced half-hour exploration of diaries, memoirs and fiction of the holocaust. Different literary approaches to the horrors of the holocaust are unique to time written and motivation of the authors. The day-to-day chaos is captured in diaries. Memoirs bear witness to events after the fact. It was a very interesting discussion with nice set ups, a wonderful mix of voices and high production values. At times however this program verged toward being overly academic and the read tended to be a little earnest and dramatic.
This is a nice program, one that would fit nicely on most news and information stations.
