Praise for "The Warsaw Anagrams"
"Part murder mystery and part historical fiction, Richard Zimler's
latest novel, The Warsaw "Anagrams," renews the impact of the
large-scale atrocities committed by the Nazis on millions of Jews
by comparing them to the specific and gruesome murder of a child.
Jewish folklore, "Anagrams," deceit, and treachery all play a part
in a novel that successfully makes personal a massacre whose scope
is all too easy to diminish by quoting a mostly abstract number: 6

suspense but prevents it from devolving into a commonplace
page-turner . . . "Anagrams" is a thrilling and solemn story that
depicts evil in a realistic way." -- "Boston Globe"
"The highly unusual setting adds tension to the investigation, and
Zimler successfully manages to convey the horrors of the Holocaust
through the experiences of one family." --"Publishers Weekly"
