Out of hiding : Holocaust literature of British Columbia : an historical survey in appreciation of Robert Krell

" Out of Hiding , a cross-section of stories collected from one region of the globe—British Columbia, Canada—examining 85 authors and 160 books. Outstanding characters include the heroic whistleblower, Rudolf Vrba, credited by historian Sir Martin Gilbert with saving at least 100,000 lives, as well as Robbie Waisman, likely the only person ever to sneak his way into Nazi prison camps, twice. Discoveries include Dr. Tom Perry’s never-published photos of just-liberated Buchenwald, a little-known Warsaw Ghetto memoir by Stanislav Adler and Jennie Lifschitz, perhaps the only Canadian-born Jew to have survived the camps. This wide-ranging collection is dedicated to Dutch-born survivor Robert Krell... who has dauntlessly paved the way for memory retrieval since the 1970s. Illustrated and profoundly educational, with an afterword by Yosef Wosk, this patchwork quilt of memory and history is the first of its kind to have a regional lens from somewhere in North America." — Publisher
