Following the success of Forgotten Voices of the Great War, Lyn Smith visits the oral accounts preserved in the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive, to reveal the sheer complexity and horror of one of human history's darkest hours.
Previously overlooked in the workplace, this book explores how internal communication is conducted across the different sectors and in organizations of differing sizes and complexity.
In March 2010, twenty-seven Britons were recognized as 'Heroes of the Holocaust' by the British Government for their courageous efforts to protect Jews from the Nazis during a dark chapter in history. They received a silver medal inscribed with 'In the Service of Humanity' to honor their selfless actions that preserved lives amidst persecution. Gordon Brown praised these individuals as 'true British heroes' and a source of national pride, highlighting their role as beacons of hope against prejudice and hatred. Among them was Frank Foley, a British spy who risked his life issuing forged visas to help around 10,000 Jews escape Germany before the war. Additionally, ten British POWs displayed immense humanity by hiding and caring for Hannah Sarah Rigler during her escape from a death march. All recipients were ordinary individuals who acted on their own accord, unable to remain passive in the face of such evil. This collection presents, for the first time, the remarkable stories of these medal recipients. Acclaimed Holocaust historian Lyn Smith provides a moving testament to their bravery, showcasing their inspiring actions during a time of horror.
Na historię można patrzeć na wiele sposob�w.Można skoncentrować się na jej aspekcie militarnym, gospodarczym, obyczajowym lub politycznym. Można przyjąć punkt widzenia przyw�dc�w lub dow�dc�w. Ale można też spr�bować ujrzeć ją tak, jak widzieli ją zwykli ludzie.Osoby, kt�re były świadkami wydarzeń lub bezpośrednio w nich uczestniczyły. ?Świadkowie ? zapomniane głosy.Holokaust to opowieść o wymordowaniu przez reżim nazistowski ponad sześciu milion�w ludzi, w większości Żyd�w. Ponad sto os�b, świadk�w i uczestnik�w, przedstawia nieubarwione, poruszające obrazy świata gett, oboz�w i marsz�w śmierci.Wśr�d historii m�wiących o niewyobrażalnych potwornościach znajdziemy jednak i takie, kt�re świadczą o nadziei i przetrwaniu.
