This is a thoughtful, compassionate, horrifying book. Survivors of the Holocaust and their descendents draw detailed, specific, sickening parallels with the ways we treat slaughter animals. The first half of the book examines the rise industrialized slaughterhouses in the USA, and how they shifted the context in how we treat creatures labeled as subhumans. The second half gives stories of Jews and other people in Germany, the USA, or Israel who were moved by the Holocaust's horrors to become lifelong defenders of animal rights.
