The Holocaust was a very impressionable period of time. It not only got media attention during that time, but movies, books, websites, and other forms of media still remember the Holocaust.

He notes that the two books are very realistic and give historical facts and references to display the evils that were happening in concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Words have the power to create or destroy, encourage or suppress, calm or energize. They can spread hate or love, clarity or confusion. Sometimes words don't tell whole truths and can be misleading as in the case of some fraudulent “pseudo-memoirs” and “doctored” or misleading documents. However, the use of testimonies are great sources for studying the history of the Holocaust. They provide a personal account allowing us to empathize with the victims and most importantly, learn from the horrors of the past.

The Holocaust was a horrific time in history and a massive amount of people were slaughtered, families were separated, and lives were destroyed. Leon Leyson, a Jewish man who survived the Holocaust, said, “One time when we were in Płaszów a guard struck my mother on the side of her head with a wooden plank.
