Elinor J. Brecher

Schindler's Legacy was a remarkable book of holocaust narratives. Brecher conducted interviews with many Schindlerjuden that currently live in the United States. Unfortunately, she could not include all the interviews and there were people who declined the interview, period.

The interviews were definitely very different, but they were very similar at the same time. I have read many books of this nature, and to be totally honest, it was very difficult getting through this book. The writing was good and the interviews were interesting, but this book struck an emotional chord that no other book has twanged as great as this did. I had to read it in bits and pieces...I found myself having nightmares after reading some of the interviews. You definitely don't want to pick this book up before you go to bed.

Although the book really doesn't get much recognition (does the fact that there is no review tell you something?), this book is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in this topic. I have to say this is one of my favorite narrative books, even better than the more popular ones.… (meer)
