Elie Wiesel
He begins with the creation of the Third Reich, continues through Western acquiescence, war, the gas chambers, liberation, and, finally, memory. He criticizes both Churchill and Roosevelt for what they knew and ignored; he praises little-known Jewish heroes. Included are testimonies from survivors that mark watershed events, such as Hitler's rise to power, Kristallnacht, life in the ghettos and concentration camps, liberation, and the displaced persons camps."--BOOK JACKET.
