Holocaust Journey: Travelling N Search of the Past Broché – 27 avril 1999
Options d'achat et paniers Plus
In 1996 Martin Gilbert was asked by a group of his graduate students to lead them on a tour of the places in Europe that were the stage of one of history's greatest human tragedies. The two-week journey that resulted, with England's leading Holocaust and World War II scholar as its guide, culminated in the powerful travel narrative Holocaust Journey.
Gilbert skillfully interweaves present-day experiences, personal memories, and historical accounts. More than fifty photographs taken over the course of this unique voyage are included, among them shots of Berlin, at the spot of the 1933 book burning; the railway line to Auschwitz; Oskar Schindler's factory in Crakow, Poland; and memorial stones from Treblinka. Together with fifty-five maps, these illustrations add an arresting visual dimension to this powerful story.

Martin Gilbert est de haut niveau. Probablement pas le cas de ses accompagnateurs

I would have preferred NO highlighting but other than that the book is in fine condition and look forward to reading it in the summer.
While driving through the Polish countryside, I would suddenly see the name of a village I was entering, and remember that it was mentioned in this book. So I pulled over and re-read that section. And instead of being a random village, that village would turn into a place with a real story.
In addition to this book I also had along The Holocaust Sites of Europe: An Historical Guide , which IS written as a travel guide, and covers all of Europe. The two books were very complementary, and I would recommend both to anyone going to Poland to visit the Holocaust sites.
The Holocaust was the greatest incident in the middle 20th century.But, one must also give credit to the 5 million non-Jews, who were slave-laborers,and many of those also faced the gas chambers, including myself as a child between the ages of 8 and 10.
But, we must not forget that the worldwide capitalistic system was also very instrumental in the rise of Nazism.
After 40+ years of research, I am about to write my "expose" on this subject.
Gilbert's book does that through his readings of eyewitness accounts, usually on the scenes of their occurrences, of the unspeakable horrors which the Nazis committed. (Readers who are easily shocked should be warned that many of the stories are indescribably gruesome and will haunt one's dreams, as they did mine.)
But apart from the toll in human flesh which the Shoah exacted, the spiritual cost becomes clear through this book. Gilbert, through his readings and observations, paints a portrait of a country which was literally raped of its vitality and life by the Nazis through the indiscriminate murder of Jews and Gentiles alike. Especially poignant are the descriptions of the pre-war Jewish neighborhoods, alive with activity, commerce, and religion, all completely decimated.
It's fashionable for one to claim they are against anti-Semitism and radical nationalism; it's a much more complicated affair for one to understand why these are bad things. This book goes a long way towards reaching that understanding.
