audiobook Southern Civil Religions: Imagining the Good Society in the Post-Reconstruction Era (The New Southern Studies Ser.) by Arthur Remillard in History

Description

A PROMISE TO REMEMBER is a concise and accessible history of the Holocaust presented in an interactive format that includes graphics; detailed sidebars; an audio CD and removable facsimiles of documents from the period. Michael Berenbaum; bestselling author and former director of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum; provides the powerful narrative. Each chapter addresses a different topic; from the rise of the Nazis to ghettoization; the death camps to liberation. The events are personalised by focusing on the life of someone who was there and survived to tell their story. Many of these same stories appear on the accompanying hour-long CD; allowing us to hear the voices of the survivors as they tell their stories in their own words. Holding the removable documents in their hands and hearing the survivos' voices on the CD; readers will come to better understand a dark chapter in world history. The book's emotional impact and historical depth make it an invaluable tool for both family discussion and one's own understanding of the Holocaust.
