Cinfhen There are no words in the human language to express this horror @LeahBergen @Cathythoughts @CoffeeAndABook I heard a foot solider who liberated the camp say “ one moment I was still on earth and then I unknowingly entered the gates of hell” 😭😭😭😭😭 5y

alisiakae One reason (I have multiple) that I hardly ever read Holocaust fiction is that 99% of the time, it is not written by a Jewish author. And I do feel that this has never been talked about on a broad scale. And, by and large, the only time you ever see a Jewish fictional character is in Holocaust fiction. And, while survivors are still around, I think it so important to read their words and experiences over fictional retellings. #OwnVoices 5y
Cinfhen Thank you all @Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @Librarybelle @Freespirit @TrishB as long as I have breathe in me I will never stop reminding the world what kind of evil comes from unbridled hate. I‘m obviously preaching to the choir as you have all shown tremendous respect. #SpreadLight 🌏🙏🏻 5y
Cinfhen I never really thought about #OwnVoices in regard to Holocaust fiction until recently @4thhouseontheleft I truly waiver but in the end I think I‘m still grateful that people are reading anything related to the Holocaust and whatever they glean from those books are more than they knew before. However, I understand the importance of #OwnVoices as plenty dispute the Holocaust and only see it as a “fictionalized” event. A survivor bares witness 5y
CoffeeAndABook Hi Cindy, thank you for providing that link. My husband and I watched the documentary last night. It was heartbreaking and sickening and so important to see. I‘m grateful and in awe that survivors can bear to return to such a place of unspeakable horrors to tell their story 💔 It feels like it‘s never been more essential (in my lifetime at least) for survivors to be heard. 5y
Cinfhen @CoffeeAndABook Chrissy, thank you for taking time to watch the documentary and share your viewing experience. It‘s people like you who WILL bring change to this world. Much love xxx 5y

Suet624 Thank you for the link. I have read in depth about the Holocaust since I was 13 years old. I have never understood how people could be so removed from what they were doing and so horrific in their actions. It‘s still beyond me. 5y
Cinfhen I don‘t think any human can ever imagine an atrocity so great @Suet624 And please God, may we never have to ever again 5y
