Honestly, this was about 800 pages of emotional anguish, but if you only read one book about the holocaust, this should probably be the one.
Started reading book a couple of days ago, it is one of the best Holocaust books ever. It links the Holocaust and Hitler's views to history and how it transcended after Hitler.
An excellent introductory text to the Holocaust of European Jewry under the Nazis.
Possibly the most important and concise work on the subject!
