audiobook Stillborn Crusade: The Tragic Failure of Western Intervention in the Former Soviet Union by Ilya Somin in History

Description

In this disturbing but inspirational account of her experiences of the Holocaust; Lucille Eichengreen relates her journey as a young Jewish girl through Nazi Germany and Poland - including internment in the camps at Auschwitz; Neuengamme; and Bergen-Belsen. It was a journey that began in 1933; when she was eight years old and witnessed the beginnings of Jewish persecution; a journey along which she suffered the horrible deaths of her father; mother and sister. Sustained by great courage and resourcefulness; Lucille Eichengreen emerged from her nightmare with the inner strength to build a new life for herself in the United States. Only in 1991 did she return to Germany and Poland to assess the Jewish situation there. Her story is a testament to the very thing the Holocaust sought to destroy: the regeneration of Jewish life. Blessed with a remarkable memory that made her one of the most effective witnesses in the postwar trial of her persecutors; Eichengreen has composed a memoir of exceptional accuracy. As important as its factual accuracy is its emotional clarity and truth. Simple and direct; Eichengreen's words compel with their moral authority.
