Publisher Synopsis
'Admirable ... it works splendidly well ... [an] impressive, noble, and genuinely important book.'Andrew Chandler, English Historical Review'This sombre and lucid book is an important contribution to a matter which to this day stirs the conscience of British Jewry.'Roger Falk, Ham and High'A poignant and important contribution to Holocaust studies ... Bolchover has held a bright and honest flame to what he sees as the shames of Anglo-Jewry in wartime Britain.'Ian McIntyre, The Independent'Not simply a narrative of Jewish and by necessity non-Jewish attitudes and reaction to the Holocaust in Europe, but almost a work in moral ethics. It is a tour de force.'Harold Steinhof, Jewish Book News & Reviews'A act of great courage, for which the author deserves our profound thanks.'Geoffrey Alderman, Jewish Chronicle'This is absorbing, frightening, upsetting, essential reading.

The book contains much useful and fascinating information.'Liz Ramsey, Perspectives: Journal of the Holocaust Centre, Beth Shalom Read more...
