I've read numerous books about the holocaust but I think this one more than the others forced me to stop reading and ponder how horrific and inhumane the captured were treated. After reading this paragraph I was feeling pretty sick: The question was how to kill great numbers of people without a blood bath, which upset the executioners? And how to dispose of their bodies? Mass machine-gunning and toxic injections to the heart by phenol were messy and unreliable. Something aseptic and impersonal was needed. It's hard to give a rating to this book, I give it 5 stars but that doesn't mean I love it because how could I?
