Judenrat leader remembered

An outstanding description of the background conditions of Jews in pre-war Czechoslovakia, written with great understanding and based on thorough research. The story of the establishment of the Terezin ghetto is extremely well told, but the remaining chapters are a bit too long and too detailed. An exceptionally fine memorial for Edelman and similar honest and upright leaders of the Judenrat.
