Even those jaded by the seemingly-endless flow of holocaust studies will find reward in this innovative study. It is beautifully researched, well written, and beautifully (even elegantly) published. We owe a debt of gratitude to its editor and contributors for raising a question no one had previously asked, thereby holding a mirror to our too-frequent propensity toward silence and getting along. -- Bradley Shavitt Artson Conservative Judaism A solid, sensible, and exceedingly instructive volume.
