This is a very thorough account of the experience of the Jews of Europe during World War II. It is virtually a day-by-day account, in men and women's own words, of the horrifying events of the Holocaust - the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jewish race.

GEORGE STEINER, 'Sunday Times'

"Likely to remain the standard history of the Holocaust"
CONOR CRUISE O'BRIEN, 'Observer'

"Meticulously documented"
