Reviews

The Fallacy of Race and the Shoah achieves the almost impossible task of weaving together with judicious balance a highly personal story, a comprehensive historical analysis, and a coherent explanation of the Shoah. Written in a clear and precise style, the text is generously illustrated with archival documentation. Exquisitely presented, this book sets a new standard for Shoah testimonies. It reaches to the very core of this most inhuman but deeply personal experience. -- Alain Goldschlager Just when it seemed nothing new could be said about the Holocaust, Naomi Kramer has written a remarkable book full of compelling insights. Through the creative use of archival documents, survivors' accounts and historical studies, she has made a profound contribution to our understanding of the Shoah. This is a book at times moving, at times academic, but always riveting... This is a textual, wonderfully nuanced study that deserves a wide audience. -- Irving Abella
