The Last Selection: A Child's Journey Through the Holocaust
No Customer Reviews
This haunting memoir records the experiences of a young Jewish girl forced to confront the horrors of the Holocaust. Born on 1931 into a well-to-do family, Goldie Szachter Kalib begins her account with a rare portrait of Jewish life in a small Polish town in the 1930s. Although her memories reflect the perceptions of a child, her descriptions offer a wealth of information about Jewish education, politics, and religious practices outside the major urban centres of pre-World War II Poland. Her observations also shed new light on relations between Jews and Christians, making it clear that the expression of antisemitism in Poland was neither simple nor uniform.
