“Oral History and the Holocaust in Slovakia remains a deeply ethical, methodologically thoughtful, and emotionally resonant work. ... As both a scholarly contribution and a work of engaged practice, it shows that oral history is not only a research method but also a form of witnessing.

“The book's foundation in the methodology of oral history is both its strength and its central contribution. The author, an expert in the field, reflects on nearly three decades of conducting interviews, offering both theoretical and practical insights. … it's an essential text for scholars of the Holocaust, oral history, and Central European studies. … The book serves as a reminder of the power of oral history to challenge dominant narratives, recover lost voices … .” (Denisa Nešťáková, Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung, Vol. 74 (3), 2025)
