Reviews

"Filled with strongly drawn portraits of fascinating individuals... Auerbach's book is an immense work of retrieval. She expands the range of Polish history, of Jewish history, and of the borderlands between them." Michael Steinlauf, author of Bondage to the Dead: Poland and the Memory of the Holocaust
