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.
