LODZ GHETTO: Inside a Community Under Siege <i> compiled and edited by Alan Adelson and Robert Lapides (Viking: $29.95; 526 pp.)</i>

“Let anyone who still dares to deny that the Nazi genocide took place, let anyone who is still tempted to trivialize the suffering of 6 million Jewish men, women and childen, let anyone who allows himself the luxury of forgetting pick up a copy of ‘Lodz Ghetto’ and stare into the human face of the Holocaust.”
