"[A] most useful body of information because it is the one source
that could help both students and teachers as well as researchers
to discover the meaning of words that are new to them. Because of
the unique topic, many different sources and their meanings and
interpretations are necessary. The Dictionary clearly describes the
meanings and clarifies many new ideas. Only persons with many years
experience working with varied people who were a part of this
ghastly period in history as well as experienced in reading,
writing, and lecturing in the field could possibly have completed a
work as outstanding as this."-Irene G. Shur Professor of History
West Chester University
