A landmark collection of 119 poems reflecting on the horror, loss, and enduring human spirit of the Holocaust.

One of the most essential and comprehensive collections of its kind, this vital volume features the work of 59 powerful poets--including Auden, Brecht, Celan, Jarrell, Levi, Milosz, Plath, Sexton, Spender, Wiesel, and Yevtushenko--writing on themes indelibly linked with the Holocaust. Collecting 119 poems in all, Holocaust Poetry commemorates the sanctity of those who died, both Jews and non-Jews, as a result of this unimaginably horrific crime.

Yet Hilda Schiff's anthology is also a solemn affirmation of humanity's survival. It pays homage to the past while attesting to the ongoing struggles we as a species face today. Preserved within these pages are also poems written by those who themselves perished in the Shoah: the final testaments, eternal lessons, and unsilenced voices of unheralded heroes.
