Along the Edge of Annihilation: The Collapse and Recovery of Life in the Holocaust Diary

by David Patterson and David Patterson

Book Overview

This extraordinary book is based on more than fifty diaries of Jewish Holocaust victims of all ages, written while the events described were actually taking place. Many of the writers did not survive. Patterson's book is unique not only in the number of diaries and original texts it examines but also in the questions it raises and in the approach it takes from within Jewish traditions and contexts.
