The Holocaust... is absolutely overwhelming.
Even as a historian, there's only so much you can read and understand.
And to really grasp it, you need to talk to somebody who lived it.
So I went back to Warsaw to talk to someon who did experience everything: the ghetto, Auschwitz, and two death marches.
His name is Marian Turski, and I wanted him, one of the last survivors, to have the last word.
