Review
David Notowitz's Voices of the Shoah is an audio documentary of the Holocaust compiled from over 180 interviews with survivors and witnesses now residing in the U.S. and the U.K. Elliot Gould's narration links the alternately terrifying and inspiring stories of Holocaust survivors, American soldiers, and military rabbis, which Notowitz spent a decade collecting. A moving and dignified work, this first ever audio documentary of the Holocaust makes history as well as preserving it. All the proceeds from Voices of the Shoah benefit the mission of The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. ~ Heather Phares, All Music GuideTracks
