Hidden History of the Kovno Ghetto: A Project of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, Washington, D.C. FROM THE PUBLISHER
Hidden History of the Kovno Ghetto brings together unique materials from Lithuania, Israel, and the United States to present a compelling and unforgettable view of Jewish life, loss, survival, and defiance during the Holocaust. This visual and documentary record is introduced by two essays that describe the German assault on Lithuania's Jewry and the Kovno Jews' resilient yet ultimately futile efforts to devise a "normal" world in the ghetto. The book concludes with a Kovno Ghetto survivor's personal reminiscence and a historian's reflection on the experience.
SYNOPSIS
A companion volume to a major two-year exhibition at the Holocaust Museum that tells the story -- via photos, letters, diaries, reports, and paintings -- of a Lithuanian village of Jews who were spared the German killing squads when they were herded into a suburban ghetto.
