An Evening with Quentin Crisp
:Album Description:Two CD set. Quentin Crisp was one of the UK's most cherished satirists and commentators. Immortalized by John Hurt in the touching film version of his book The Naked Civil Servant, Crisp's flippancy, self-deprecation and theatricality masked a fervent intelligence and a sharp eye for the detail of contemporary English life. These recordings of Crisp in New York in 1979 arose as a result of the popularity of the film adaptation of that book, and capture one of ''Britain's stately homos'' in garrulous form, ...

Voices of the Shoah: Remembrances of the Holocaust
: :Narrated by Elliot Gould, this four-CD set is almost exclusively comprised of the voices of Holocaust survivors.

All these stories are first-hand accounts of Jews from this period. Some, of course, were very young at the time, but many were adults living a 'normal' life before the Nazis imposed their will. They are true witnesses, and in ...
