he was merely a Jew, protected from deportation to a death camp
only by his marriage to an Aryan. He...

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's wrenching attempt to find meaning
in the horror of the Holocaust is technically a novel, but it's
based so closely on his own experiences in Birkenau, Auschwitz,
and Buchenwald that it's generally--and not inaccurately--read
as an autobiography. Like Wiesel himself, the...

become a fundamental part of Jewish identity; gentiles, too,
view the Holocaust as a touchstone of moral solemnity. In The
Holocaust and American Life, Peter Novick asks why, and...

A reader
from Lufkin, Texas USA , September 26, 1999 
Interesting viewpoint
This book is written from the viewpoint of the pathologist who
had to satisfy Mengele's sadistic cravings. While Dr. N did
what he had to do to preserve his life, did he facilitate and
spur Mengele's urges? This book raises the question of whether
it was better to be shot immediately for...

Some historical events simply beggar any attempt at description--the
Holocaust is one of these. Therefore, as it recedes and the
people able to bear witness die, it becomes more and more essential
that novel, vigorous methods are used to describe the indescribable.
Examined in these terms, Art...

Having lost her husband, her parents, and her two young sons
to the Nazi exterminators, Olga Lengyel had little to live for
during her seven-month internment in Auschwitz. Only Lengyel's
work in the prisoners' underground resistance and the need to
tell this story kept her fighting for survival. She...

Kirkus Reviews , October 1, 1991
Together with the much-acclaimed first volume of Spiegelman's
Maus (1987--not reviewed), this unusual Holocaust tale will
forever alter the way serious readers think of graphic narratives
(i.e., comic books). For his unforgettable combination of words
and pictures, Spiegelman draws from high and low...
