Reviews

"Well researched ... accessible ... this valuable resource covers an aspect of the Holocaust rarely addressed and never in such detail. A valuable addition to libraries focusing on the Holocaust." --Library Journal "A readable encyclopedia with very up-to-date bibliographical sources. This important reference work belongs on every library bookshelf." --Choice "[This] volume would well serve those who research the Holocaust or work with survivor memoirs and testimonies." --The American Jewish World "The most efficacious way of fighting the scourge of Holocaust denial is with the facts. No argument posed by deniers can withstand the overwhelming weight of the truth. This encyclopaedia will provide a host of detail about crucial aspects of the Holocaust that cannot be found elsewhere." Deborah E. Lipstadt, author of History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving "An indispensable source that no one individual could compile in a lifetime of research... An especially useful reference work for anyone working with survivor memoirs and testimonies." Christopher R. Browning, author of Ordinary Men: Reserve Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland
