No matter how much I have learned or read about the Holocaust, I can't forget this book. Containing the dialogues from Claude Lanzmann's documentary film, Shoah, the testimonies contained are both horrifying and chilling. From the German railroad workers who arranged the transports to the extermination camp, to the Poles and others who "looked away" and conveniently "knew nothing" about what was happening, to the few survivors who lived to tell the tale, this is a book one won't easily forget.
