This dramatic accounting of the fate of Hungarian Jews in the last months of Hitler’s final solution is being released in conjunction with the director’s film documentary on the same subject and includes 150 striking duotone photographs from that time period.

Review: An excellent book that clearly depicts photos of the concentration camps and the atrocities of human against human… simply because of fanatical ideology. Steven Spielberg has done an outstanding and tasteful job of relaying the nobility of survivor stories, and hopefully educating the rest of us that we must find a way to stand up and find our voices to stop these kinds of atrocities. Unfortunately, humans haven’t learned … the killing and torture of race, culture, color and country continues to be perpetrated around the world and in our own back yards. I am not sure how these photos survived, but I am grateful they did. Maybe if everyone could “see” the face of this ugliness, they would find the courage to say “enough”, whether it is in their own families, their neighborhood, their communities or on the world stage. Thank you Steven Spielberg for this work. Someone had to record this tastefully, and I am so pleased it was you.
