A haunting and compelling book about the Holocaust.

I learned about this book when I visited a friend in Germany who uses it as a philosophy text. With the exception of the haunting portraits painted by Holocaust survivors, never have I read such a powerful and vivid story. The visions of church leaders and nazi's painted by Jerry Marcus as "laughing angels" is emblazened in my mind. I wanted to take Zev Segal by the shoulders and shake him back and forth to awaken him, while wanting to learn more through his nightmares. This story has all the elements of a movie that will keep the audience spellbound from start to finish!

This is a classic and haunting novel about the Holocaust

Like the main character of this book (Zev Segal), I am haunted by visions of the evil "laughing angels" and the saintly "righteous ones" who call upon Zev (and the readers) to remember the innocent victims of the Church and the Nazi's. This is the only book on the Holocaust that really brings the roots of this dastardly era of history into present-day focus. I did not understand at first why my philosophy professor put it on our reading list - but I do now. It is a story that will stay with me forever.
