Contents Snapshots: Jewish life before the Holocaust -- The destruction of a society -- Ruthlessness as a system -- The lottery of death and life -- Disguise as a way of hiding -- The sustaining power of family love -- The virtuous and the vicious -- Desperate heroism -- Emergence into the light -- The aftermath: remembering.
Note In a series of writing workshops at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, survivors assembled recently to remember the pivotal moments in which their lives were irreparably changed by the Nazis. These "flares of memory" invoke lost childhoods, preserving the voices of over forty Jews from throughout Europe who experienced a history that cannot be forgotten--by them nor us. Including a timeline that chronicles the rise of the Nazis, their devastating campaigns for control of Europe, and the successive edicts that would annihilate millions, Flares of Memory consists of 92 brief vignettes.
