Description
655 p. : ill., facsims., maps, ports.; 24 cm.
Summary
Contains translations of memoirs written by 15 rabbis, most of whom survived the Holocaust. The memoirs appeared as prefaces to Torah texts written by them. Many of the rabbis were from Poland; others came from Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Germany, and Lithuania. In the prefaces, they describe their experiences in various ghettos, labor camps, and concentration camps. Many of them discuss challenging halakhic questions with which they were confronted during the Holocaust, and for which they had to provide answers.
