Analyzing photographs from the time period, assigning students the identity of a Holocaust victim, and a mini-lesson on nutrition are all ways to help students make personal connections with the Holocaust.
Inmate 1818 and other stories represents the third iteration of my collection of Holocaust-related short fiction.

This edition can be downloaded in full and free of charge at www.bernardotterman.com ... Subsequently, I wrote additional stories inspired by the Holocaust ... These were included in a 2008 English language edition titled Black grass and other stories ... I present today Inmate 1818 and other stories. This collection includes newly revised versions of all previously published stories, plus the translator prefaces to the Russian and Chinese editions.

Nine child concentration camp survivors were interviewed in their old age, evidencing enduring effects related to their traumatic experiences. All participants retained vivid recollections of internment and experienced catastrophic grief in relation to loss of parents and siblings.

On the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January 2012, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg publicly apologized for the participation of Norwegians in the mass murder of European Jews during the Second World War. This statement has been hailed as a landmark in the turn to a self-critical memory. But has a transition or even transformation from heroic, national and patriotic memories to more universalistic or cosmopolitan remembrances occurred? Taking Norway as an example, the contributions to this volume provide answers to this question. They concentrate on the narratives of resistance and the Holocaust, relating findings and insights on Norway to the main trends in the development of memory cultures in Western and Central Europe.

Visiting Dachau Concentration Camp was the most sobering experience on our trip to Europe. Dachau was our first stop in Germany after leaving Austria.
The Seven Year Dress by Paulette Mahurin tells of the rise of Nazism in Germany and the concentration camps, as related by aged survivor Paulette Mahurin to a young nursing student who rents a room in her apartment. There have been numerous holocaust memoirs, but most deal with the Jews of Eastern Europe, while this one focuses on Germany itself. Through Helen’s eyes, we see the progression of anti-Semitism throughout the 1930s, from harassment of Jewish businesses to the prohibition against Jews working in certain professions, from racial laws prohibiting marriage or sexual relationships between Jews and non-Jews to the seizure of radios and firearms from Jews. Like many older Jews, Helen’s father takes a “wait-and-see” attitude toward Nazism, but the young Helen almost immediately sees Nazism for what it is. After the violence of Kristallnacht, a non-Jewish friend secretly offers Helen and her brother, Ben, a hiding place in the basement of an old farmhouse, but their troubles have just begun. Paulette Mahurin’s The Seven Year Dress is well written — as a journalism graduate, I was pleased to see that she uses short paragraphs, a minimum of adjectives and adverbs, and so on. It doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, such as Helen's and Ben’s separate sexual fantasies while they are hiding in the basement. Perhaps more than in most such memoirs, you can vividly feel the tragedy of the holocaust; Helen is the only one of four siblings who survives the war. It’s also inspirational how Helen still clings to humanity, as witnessed when the non-Jewish friend (who joins the SS, but mainly as a “cover”), brings Helen some of her favorite books that he has salvaged from their family home (all of them American novels, by the way). All in all, I heartily recommend The Seven Year Dress. And what of the dress itself? You’ll have to read the book to find out.
