a stunning, terrifying, disturbing, beautiful book
I have already amassed a sufficient collection of both historical and mystical Judaica, and I expected "just another Holocaust book." I was stunned by what the editors have assembled. Some of the photos are familiar: the little boy with hands held high, surrendering to the Nazis; piles of corpses; scenes from the ghettos. Yet, the way the book was structured, the manner in which the images were skillfully woven together with enthralling text, made for outstanding reading. The final photo, juxtaposing the stripes of the freed prisoners' uniforms with the stripes of the new Israeli flag, made me cry. I will treasure this volume for many years to come.
