* Journal of Modern Jewish Studies *
These accounts from those who saw what happened convey what we cannot learn from official documents about the nature of this vast criminal enterprise, in which hundreds of thousands were transformed into monsters . . . and millions of others became helpless, dehumanized, mutilated, and finally forgotten victims.
* Wall Street Journal *
An essential work for anyone who wants to explore the depth of German and collaborationist crimes against the Jews.
* Holocaust and Genocide Studies *
The Unknown Black Book's main contribution is in exposing the English-speaking audience, for the first time, to one of the most terrible chapters of the Holocaust, as well as in challenging the current trend of presenting the Holocaust as merely another crime against humanity.
* Russian Review *
One of the most important sources on the Holocaust . . . [T]he editors and Indiana University Press have performed an invaluable service by preparing an English-language edition of The Unknown Black Book.
-- Timothy Snyder * Yale University *
