Summary: Indispensable book for understanding the Holocaust
Comment: The more people hear about the Holocaust in our Holocaust-drenched culture, the less they seem to know about it. Most people's understanding of the Holocaust reduces to simplistic abstractions and cliches, particularly the notion that the worst thing about the Nazi war against the Jews was that it was impersonal and bureaucratic. This book is the antidote to all that. By tracing in specific detail, from month to month and year to year, what the Nazi regime actually did to the Jewish communities of Europe that fell under its power, Martin Gilbert gives the reader a more vivid and concrete sense of the Holocaust than can be found in any other book (or museum) on the subject. Contrary to the focus of the popular mind on Auschwitz and gas chambers, the Holocaust did not consist of one event or one crime. It consisted of innumerable, specific crimes, in a steadily mounting unleashing of cruelty that only an epic-length treatment such as Mr. Gilbert's could adequately portray. This is an indispensable book that will forever change your understanding of one of history's central events.

Summary: An exceptional accounting of the Holocaust
Comment: Of the thirty books I have read on this subject, this one book tells the reader most of what they would ever want to know about this historic event. The book is logically laid out from the seeds of antisemitism to the "Final Solution." After reading this book, I visited some of the places mentioned and felt the power of these places through Gilbert's words. An outstanding read!

Summary: IMPRESSIVE!
Comment: This is an imperative book to read,especially at these times that this tragedy is being denied,trivialized and minimized by many,particulary in Europe.
The author recorded first hand testimonials and suddenly the abstract figure of 6,000.000 (Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis became)becomes a personal record of suffering.
The sadistic cruelty is beyond description.Who was more udehumanized the Nazi officer who trained his dog to bite the testicles of his victims and making fun about it or the many guards who crashed systematically babies heads to dead in front of their mothers?
How was it possible for those thousands of torturers to go back to their homes and express love to their wives and children and their parents and go back to their "job".Insane.
On the other side there are testimonies of bravery and faith of the victims.
At one point my wife ask me why I'm reading this book who challenge my emotions.The answer is,after reading of those who didn't lose their faith in God it stregthen my own faith.
