Reply to comment by asday515 in Gerda Weissman Klein was one of only 120 survivors of a 350 mile Death March during the Holocaust; it began with over 4,000 people. In this clip she tells of the last time she ever saw her father, and credits her survival to the intuitive last words he spoke to her. by asday515
My 6th grade lit teacher read her book to the class. I'd heard of the holocaust before that, but I had never really heard an direct accounts of it. It made quite an impact on the entire class.

Reply to Best condensed history works? by SintagmaNominalMan
James Burke's The Day the Universe Changed. It's an amazing television series from the 80's that still holds up today. He also wrote a book by the same name, which is also very good.
He does a very good job of condensing human history into specific bits.
