Remembering to Forget:
Holocaust Memory Through the Camera's Eye
by Barbie Zelizer
Hardcover (1998)

Zelizer addresses what she calls the mechanics of visual memory and historical record at their broadest level, and she explores how others, such as cultural critic Susan Sontag, have used those "atrocity photos" to link past and present. Among the questions Zelizer asks and answers are, How were those first images of the camps produced and presented? By whom and under what circumstances? How were they received and to what effect? When, why, how, and to what purposes were they co-opted into memory? And in what ways have they persisted as vehicles of collective memory? The author devotes a final chapter to the more recent atrocities in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge, the genocidal actions against the Kurds of Iraq, the massacres in Rwanda and Burundi, and the killings in Bosnia and Algeria, as well as the role that photography played in those barbaric acts.

The Last Eyewitnesses:
Children of the Holocaust Speak
by Wiktoria Sliwowska, Julian Bussgang
Hardcover (1998)

Hardcover

Diary of Anne Frank here
Individual accounts by 65 Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors. This book provides concise, factual and personal accounts of sixty-five Jews who survived the Holocaust and still live in Poland. Their stories are shocking, poignant and powerful. They were written by the individuals, children at the time, who had these horrible experiences and only recently felt capable of recounting their painful past. Although each story is different, the collection reveals over and over again the struggle to survive under awful conditions, the brutality and inhumanity of the Holocaust, the recognition that most others perished, and the risk some courageous Gentiles took to save Jews. This is a very important and moving book which should be read by everyone who wants to learn more about the Holocaust. It is unique in many respects, but especially interesting because these Jews chose to remain in Poland.

From Booklist, 1996
An extensively researched and superbly presented work, this atlas features more than 230 color maps "produced for the Wexner Learning Center of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum." Many sources were used by center cartographer Dewey Hicks and historian William Meinecke in their preparation of the maps, including "period maps from the Germany army mapping service; Allied and German aerial photographs; political and strategic maps from the U.S. State Department and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS); railway and city maps from various European countries; and a great number of textual records." Unlike many thematic atlases, this one contains no photographs, just maps and explanatory text.
