"[A] scholarly miracle...a sophisticated and gripping contribution to Holocaust education." -- Rabbi Irving Greenburg, President, Jewish Life Network "[A]n elegantly written, thoroughly researched and compelling narrative...certain to be a standard work in the field of Holocaust studies." -- Dr. William L. Shulman, President, Association of Holocaust Organizations "[T]he focus is on the fate of named individuals on almost every page. That creates the unusual passion and strength of this remarkable book." -- Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman "A rare achievement that will take its place among the best histories of the destruction of European Jews." -- Michael R. Marrus, University of Toronto "A signal contribution to the vast literature on the history of the Holocaust... a volume from which general readers and scholars can both benefit." -- Douglas Greenberg, Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation "[A] 'must read' for anyone interested in understanding the true history of this extremely tragic time." -- Roman Kent, American Gathering/Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors "The reader looking for a clear and readable account of how Hitler and the Nazis came to conceive and carry out their diabolical project need look no further than this book." -- Boston Globe "Holocaust is a superb work." -- The Forward "Starred Review. A monumental, sobering attempt to make sense of collective insanity." -- Kirkus Reviews "Starred Review.
