"This is one of the best books written about The Shoah by Bullets. Clearly written, superbly researched, it's a fascinating reminder of an unjustly neglected story about The Holocaust * David Herman * ""Chris Heath has finally given the horror of Ponar the sustained and concentrated attention it deserves. He has left no stone unturned in his effort to understand what happened in this terrible place, and to reinscribe its survivors' stories back into historical memory. I was stunned by this book's scope, rigor, and compassion. A monumental work of reportage and commemoration."" * Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath * Utterly absorbing in its powerfully detailed horror and inspiring redemption: a must-read in Holocaust studies. * Kirkus Reviews * Anyone who cares about human nature and the question of good and evil owes this author their admiration and gratitude. * Rich Cohen *"
