Holocaust

The Holocaust category by Amsterdam Publishers consist of all books by Holocaust survivors and Second and Third Generation survivors. There is a worrying lack of basic Holocaust knowledge, which is a growing problem as increasingly fewer Holocaust survivors are alive to share the lessons of the Holocaust. It is Amsterdam Publishers’ ambition to publish as many Holocaust books as possible to further knowledge about the Holocaust, so we never forget. For most of these Foreign Rights are available. All books available through Amazon, IngramSpark, Overdrive.

$14,95eBook: $5,99

A monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit

Anne Frank's classmate Nanette Blitz Konig relates her amazing story of survival in Bergen-Belsen during WW2 when she was imprisoned by the Nazis.

In these compelling, award-winning Holocaust memoirs, Nanette Blitz Konig relates her amazing story of survival during the Second World War. Together with her family and millions of other Jews she was imprisoned by the Nazis. At Bergen-Belsen she had a minimum chance of survival.

Nanette (b. 1929) was a class mate of Anne Frank in the Jewish Lyceum of Amsterdam. They met again in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp shortly before Anne Frank died. During these emotional encounters, Anne Frank revealed how the Frank family hid in the annex. She talked about their subsequent deportation, her experience in Auschwitz and her plans for her diary after the war.

This honest WW2 story, Holocaust Memoirs of a Bergen-Belsen Survivor and Classmate of Anne Frank, describes the hourly battle for survival under the brutal conditions in the camp imposed by the Nazi regime. It continues with her struggle to recover from the effects of starvation and tuberculosis after the war. Gradually she was able to restart her life, marry and build a family.
