Holocaust witnesses will soon cease to exist. As Tolstoy famously put it, what is to be done? One answer is Out of Hiding, a cross-section of stories collected from one region of the globe—British Columbia, Canada—examining 86 authors and 163 books. Outstanding characters include Auschwitz escapee Rudolf Vrba, the whistle-blower who is credited with saving at least 100,000 lives; Robbie Waisman, likely the only person to sneak into a concentration camp twice; and Dutch-born child survivor Rob Krell—the MLK of Holocaust education in Canada. Little-known Vancouverite Jennie Mines is featured on the cover as Jennie Lifschitz—possibly the only Canadian-born Jew to survive the death camps. Other features include just-liberated Buchenwald photos taken by Dr. Tom Perry, the love story behind a Warsaw Ghetto memoir by Stanislav Adler and an Afterword on hiding by Rabbi Yosef Wosk.<BR>Out of Hiding is an illustrated, patchwork quilt of memory and history that belongs in every British Columbia household if the Holocaust is not to be marginalized and forgotten.
