Customer Reviews

An incredible witness to the unbelievable.

My 1st exposure to this book was nearly 20 years ago and I have never forgotten it. The majority of survivors of that era are now gone and it falls upon us to remember and to bear witness. This is an unforgetable book that should grace every person's library. The collection resembles any photo album one might find in anyone's home, save for the stark reality and deep tragedy it portrays. Seen through the photographer's and the viewer's eye there is a certain neutrality that allows us to understand on our own what this place must have been like. While it never shows the macabre, It lays like a prophecy in the eyes of the innocents who step off the trains and into their respective lines. This book is out of print - we need to treasure and circulate it. Own it, show it to the people around you. If we can react to it and learn from it, we may make the world a better place to live.
