It is important to remember the holocaust again, at times when some, like Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, David Irving and others, deny it's existence. The accounts are often graphic and bring the grim reality of what happened to the Jewish people during world War II to bear on us. Part of the book consists of harrowing eyewitness accounts of the survivors, hence an important testament to holocaust remembrance. Some of the boys made their mark in the Israel War of Independence defending the fledgling Jewish State after it was attacked by five Arab armies, aiming to annihilate all Jews in Israel (as the Arabs and anti-Zionists of the world aim for today i.e a second Holocaust.) These young people-both boys and girls-where settled in Britain after World War II, some stayed and made lives in Britain, while others immigrated to the USA, Australia, Canada and Israel. This remarkable book consists of the comprehensive results interviews with and letters by 732 concentration camp survivors from the Holocaust. He travelled widely lecturing and researching, advised political figures and filmmakers, and gave a voice and a name “to those who fought and those who fell.”
