• This program of testimonies presented 25 years ago, at the Southbank Centre, was part of the first academic conference on the Holocaust and an endeavor to understand the enormity of what had happened to the Jewish people during the years 1939–1945.

• These 24 pieces of testimony — not just from victims and survivors, but also from the perpetrators — are powerful reminders of what happens when a society falls victim to its baser instincts, and it is hoped that these readings will inspire a new generation to act differently.

Harold Pinter, Ruth Rosen, Harry Ariel: voices Derek Wax: director Tracks include a collection of testimonies of those who perished in, survived, and perpetrated the Holocaust Key Markets: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle
