"At last someone has put together, in the most sober, factual and overwhelming way, the essential facts about Hitler's war against the Jewish people. What a marvellous thing to do: to write great history as if it were nothing but a mere record. The patient factuality of the book overwhelms me. It is a great book in what it tells us, great, too, in the singular purity of its style. It builds up a picture of Nazi cruelty that shakes the reader as much as does the grimly reserved piling up of the facts. 'This is a book that one reads in tears, in despair, but above all with gratitude. If any book can tell the current generation what Hitlerism was like, this is it. May it yet startle the weary conscience of our time". - Alfred Kazan Lucy S.
