From the Holocaust to Maine: Testimonies of the Survivors

These are the testimonies of 20 remarkable people who survived the Holocaust. Most were children during the dark years of fascism in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. As the “Final Solution” gathered momentum, some were forced into ghettos and then on to the death factories of Auschwitz and other camps. Some fled to the woods where they survived with partisan bands resisting the Germans and others who hunted for Jews. One lived in hiding as a good “Catholic” school boy with a farm family in Belgium. All of them survived through a combination of great fortitude and good luck. They then made their way from the chaos and devastation of Europe to the United States and eventually moved to Maine, where they rebuilt their lives. Jack Montgomery began making photographic portraits of the survivors 30 years ago. At the outset of the pandemic, he set out to collect their first person accounts as they had told them in interviews, books they had written and speeches they had given, letters and poems
