Review of Hidden Children of the Holocaust

This was one aspect of the Holocaust that has really been overlooked by society. It was a haunting, but vivid detail of having to give up an identity in order to survive.
Forgetting should not be something anyone tells these survivors, since their rememberance probably keeps society in check.
If there were no survivors, I feer that society would repeat this annielation of an entire race.'

Review of Hidden Children of the Holocaust

poignant content, produced nicely with meaningful music. There is a quietness to the telling of these two stories, that makes them unusually powerful, and particularly so for a day of remembrance. The interviewer's voice might be easily extracted
since I found it unneccessary and distracting. Regardless, the stories are exquisitely haunting.
