The Holocaust. The History of the Jews in Europe During the Second World War

"The book should be read and re-read. It is painful, but we must nevertheless read it. In order to learn? No. To understand? No, not for this reason again. Just to remember those, whom quite a long time ago the world tried to forget". Ely Vizel, Chicago Tribune "A remarkable achievement ... an eloquent document... M.Gilbert has put to use his professional skills of a historian ... to weave the fragmented pieces of evidence into a smooth story". John Gross, New York Times "He alternates the cold facts and nightmarish personal stories to produce a skillful chronological narration....HOLOCAUST confronts us with clearly formulated questions; questions with no answer. Concerning our humaneness, the values and greatness of suffering... Showing the probability of its occuring again". Peter Hay, Los Angeles Times
