From the dust jacket: "When more than 2,000 American Jewish survivors of the Holocaust -- along with their children and grandchildren -- gathered in Philadelphia in April 1985 to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of their liberation, Bernard Stehle was there to document what he saw: the searching, the reunions, the pain of remembering, the quiet wonder of being alive. Badges and banners in his photographs proclaim the survivors' commitment -- never to forget -- while in the faces of his subjects we read layers of meaning and experience. These photographs of seemingly ordinary people are accompanied by the extraordinary stories that the survivors told the photographer: stories of brutality and kindness, abandonment and rescue, fear and courage, death and survival."

Fine condition/Very Good jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xiii, 153pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
