Book Reviews

 

This edition is intended for the public that is interested in Holocaust-related books. It recommends a selection of new books that have been published in Israel and around the world. The reviews present books that deserve exposure because of their high quality or uniqueness, and which might otherwise remain obscure.

We welcome your responses, and invite you to suggest books for review, and also to address questions about books that deal with different aspects of the Holocaust.
