Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A work forty years in the making--Sir Martin Gilbert's illustrated survey of the pre- and post-war history of the Jewish people in Europe.
Masterfully covering such topics as pre-war Jewish life, the Warsaw Ghetto revolt, and the reflections of Holocaust survivors, Gilbert interweaves firsthand accounts with unforgettable photographs and documents, which come together to form a three-dimensional portrait of the lives of the Jewish people during one of Europe's darkest times.
"This volume introduces the crime to a new generation, so that it knows of the atrocities and the seemingly futile acts of defiance taken, in the words of Judah Tenenbaum, 'for three lines in the history books.'" -- Booklist
