A recent poll done by the Roper Organization showed that 38% of adult
Americans and 53% of high school students either "didn't know" or offered
incorrect answers when asked what the term "Holocaust" refers to. A similar
survey done by Chicago's Spartacus College of Judaica asked high school
students what they thought life was like in 1941 in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Typical answers included: "No one had their own room." "Only black and
white TV." "No snacks between meals." "No air conditioning." and "Only two
pairs of jeans per person." This book was written in 1946, immediately
after the Holocaust occurred. It is a detailed account of Rywka Rybak's
experiences starting from the beginning of the war thru the liquidation of
the concentration camps. This book was lost for thirty-seven years until it
was recently rediscovered, translated, and published with the hopes of
helping educate people as to what life was really like during the
Holocaust. The more educated we are about the atrocities of the Holocaust,
the less likely we are to repeat it.
