Razed Monuments

"Razed Monuments is a powerful representation of the Holocaust. It is like a time capsule recorded today in an artistic form to be used by future generations. Well done."

-Stephen "Pista" Nasser, Holocaust survivor and author of My Brother's Voice & Journey to Freedom

"On behalf of my mother, I would like to thank Tim Heerdink for keeping my mother's message, story, and life lessons alive."

-Alex Kor, son of Eva Mozes Kor

"In "I am Not a Jew," a reader asks the author, why he cares so much about the Holocaust, to which Heerdink responds, "How can one care so little?" In these ambitious, heartfelt narrative poems, Heerdink gives voice to the voiceless and the personal becomes political. His message is clear. All of history, especially the holocaust can happen again if we let it."

-Margaret McMullan, author of Where the Angels Lived
