The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet it is a sad testament to our time that those who make such claims are no longer dismissed as members of the lunatic fringe but are gaining a hearing in respectable arenas.

Hitler's Ghettos: Voices from a Beleaguered Society 1939-1944
United Kingdom: Edward Arnold Ltd. 2002. 358pp. Hundreds of ghettos were created throughout eastern Europe by the Germans and their allies during the Second World War. There have been some studies of the largest ghettos - Warsaw and L0dz - and a few accounts of some of the smaller ones; but very little examination of the ghettos a a whole. This pioneering new history draws heavily on the testimonies of those who suffered in them making use of a wide range of diaries and memoirs and exploring the problems inherent in such sources. Other documentary sources - particularly German - are also used but the intention is to look at the ghettos "from below" focusing on behavior values and suffering as well as on the heroism and the passiveness of the Jewish communities. Never before has personal testimony been so extensively used and systematically evaluated to write a history of the East European ghettos. Light underlining on 2 pages. First Edition. Glossy Hard Cover/Boards. Very Good/No Jacket Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Edward Arnold Ltd. hardcover
