In Forgotten Voices of the Holocaust, the voices of over 100 contributors tell the story of how pre-war life changed to one of persecution; of the rise in emigration, and of the creation of the ghettos. And of course, we also witness the unbelievable atrocities that were taking place in the concentration camps.

From those who managed to avoid the horror of Belsen and Auschwitz, there are evocative tales of being in hiding and active resistance to the Nazi regime. And while the horrific death marches and eventual liberation of the camps mark the end of the Nazi's attempted Final Solution, we see how the Holocaust didn't conclude there. In the wake of the genocide, millions struggled to rebuild their lives only to find the process of returning to 'normality' made all the more difficult by devastating family losses and complex feelings of guilt.

Oxymoron. How can they be forgotten if someone found them and listened to them?

Sidenote, my father-in-law was a kid and held by the Austrian government in a concentration camp BEFORE Germany started using them or took over Austria. He even has a letter of apology and was given some amount of money in compensation. Over time, there were more than 20,000 people in his camp. Only it's never mentioned in any history book.

I'm a "War is Hell" kinda guy, but it's sad how concentration camps were propagandized into being someone only the Germans used and that only Jews, seniors and sick people were sent there, not to mention that most supposedly died in ovens in them. The truth is not any rosier, but much different.

Forgotten as in they were interviewed after their 'experience' and everything was kept on tape in the Imperial War Museum in London and only recently have they been discovered, sorted into a timeline and published.

I have read extensively around the subject of camps, from concentration camps to extermination camps and I would say that although the Nazi's were not the only ones to use them, they certainly used them to maximum effect and this would be why, when mentioned, concentration camps are usually remembered as a Nazi development.

The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who betrayed his best friend Hassan (by running away when bullies raped Hassan), the son of his father's Hazara servant, and lives in regret. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.

It is also important to understand that there are various interpretations of this book, ranging from the way in which the Taliban treated its "own" people to the relationship between the two boys being a representation of the microcosms of society.
