review 1: This is an incredible book that tells heartbreaking stories of people who were stripped of their humanity and lost in the holocaust. For me, it had to be read in small doses because it is so overwhelming. It really should be read by everyone, regardless of your religious affiliation, if for no other reason to be sure that we never forget this horrific period in history and the people who lost their lives to such evil, and in remembering, to make sure it never happens again. It deserves more than 5 stars.
review 2: While many of us have knowledge of the Death Camps and Work Camps of World War II where millions of Jews, Gypsies, Prisoners of War and others were brutally treated and murdered, the fate of nearly 1.5 million Soviet Jews at the hands of the Einsat... morezgruppen is not nearly as well known or documented.Haunted by his grandfather Claudius's stories, Roman Catholic priest Father Patrick Debois began an effort to document the killing grounds of the men, women and children who died at the hands of murderous gun-toting men. Debois wanted to make known the graves of the victims to provide some sanctity for their senseless deaths.Using previously unreleased documents from the former Soviet Republics, metal detectors and survivor and witness testimonies, Desbois and his team were able to determine the final resting places of many. This book is a haunting reminder of the mass destruction of lives, communities and a people. less
