St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

a truly satisfying sequel
I approached Sarah's Quilt with some hesitation as so often sequels just don't live up to the anticipation of the first book's enjoyment. Sarah's Quilt, however, did not disappoint. The characters of the story are so fleshed out in such subtle ways, I feel as if I ...

The Unknown Black Book: The Holocaust in the German-Occupied Soviet Territories

Indiana University Press, 2007

Weeping in Babylon
It's a rare reader who'll be able to get through The Unknown Black Book without having to walk away from it several times. The tragedies it documents are just too horrible to bear except in small doses. Both text and photographs stun the imagination and freeze the ...
