1 in stock
In Sacred Memory: Recollections of the Holocaust by Survivors Living in Cape Town is a powerful and deeply personal collection of survivor testimonies documenting the experiences of Holocaust survivors who later made South Africa their home. Edited by respected South African historian and author Gwynne Schire, this important work preserves individual memories of persecution, survival, displacement, and rebuilding lives after one of history’s greatest tragedies.
Published by the Cape Town Holocaust Memorial Council in 1995, In Sacred Memory represents a significant contribution to Holocaust remembrance in South Africa. Rather than presenting a conventional historical overview, the book allows survivors to tell their own stories in their own words, creating an intimate and emotionally compelling record of courage, resilience, loss, and hope.
In Sacred Memory offer readers invaluable insight into life before the Holocaust, the horrors experienced during Nazi occupation, concentration camps and forced displacement, and the remarkable journeys that eventually brought many survivors to Cape Town. The collection stands as both an educational resource and a lasting memorial to those whose voices might otherwise have been lost.
This title is sought after by collectors of Judaica, Holocaust history, South African history, Jewish studies, World War II literature, and oral history. In Sacred Memory also serves as an excellent reference for libraries, museums, universities, educators, and researchers interested in preserving survivor testimony.
An increasingly difficult South African publication to locate in collectible condition.
