Meer over het boek

Pp. 1-7 contain the story of Greenman, told in his own words. A Jew born in London, he lived with his wife and small son in Rotterdam. In 1942, disregarding his British nationality, the Nazis sent him and his family to Westerbork and then to Auschwitz, where his wife and son were killed. In January 1945 Greenman was sent on a death march and transport to Buchenwald, where he was liberated by the American army. After the war he returned to England. Startled by British ignorance of the Holocaust, he began to recount his experiences to students. Pp. 8-13 contain guidelines for teachers using Greenman's story for Holocaust education.
