A Toronto publisher’s much-praised book on the Holocaust has been reissued and expanded to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Europe from Nazi rule. Second Story Press says its book “Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations” now includes invisible barcodes embedded in every photo of a survivor, rescuer or liberator that can take the reader online to video of their testimony. The book also has new material including an afterword from Spielberg. The March of the Living brings together Holocaust survivors and students to share memories with a new generation, visiting concentrations camps, ghettos and towns depleted of their Jewish communities. The publisher says the book is a reminder of ”how important ‘witnesses’ are to a true understanding of history and how we behave to one another today and in the future.”
