WE MUST NOT THINK OF OURSELVES

Five remarkable narrators create an unforgettable portrait of the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. Brad Griffith provides the main narration as Adam Paskow, a language and literature teacher who lost his beloved wife, Kasia. After being relocated to the Warsaw Ghetto, he is recruited by the real-life Oneg Shabbat to document the histories of the Jews there. Jesse Vilinsky, Sharon Freedman, Amir Levi, and Rich Keeble create memorable portraits of the students, housemates, and acquaintances Adam interviews. The narrators evoke an unimaginable world wherein Jews must sell their few possessions for food to supplement their meager rations. At any moment, Nazi officers can kill them for the slightest offense. Listeners will feel as though they are witnessing history. A must-listen. M.J.
