    Holocaust Survivors

    For decades after World War II, Holocaust survivors remained silent


    In a small library at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center of Silicon Valley in Los Gatos, eight or nine people sit around a square of tables. They listen as Helena Smith reads from typewritten pages. She's adding a section to her book Zdenka which she wrote some years ago. The book is in diary form and is about World War II. What she's reading here are prewar experiences. When she's done reading, the others tell her it's wonderful. "Be sure to include the dates for historical perspective," they tell her. "Tell more about your nanny and your uncle." The leader tells her, "Maybe you could put this prewar information in a prologue."   More
