The book is a cau­tion­ary tale on many lev­els; it is also an impor­tant his­tor­i­cal doc­u­ment and an excel­lent read. It was not easy to get through this book, and I had trep­i­da­tion about read­ing it at all. But I’m glad I did and you will be, too.

So, this is not an easy book to read, but nor should it be. It’s one of the viewpoints rarely heard about in the books I’ve read about the Holocaust. I think this is one of the books that will remain in my memory for the rest of my life...
