'The Final Solution' is the definitive account of the destruction of European Jewry in the period 1939-1945. It can be read as an insight into the mechanism of the Nazi tyranny, as an exposé of the most horrific crime in history, or as a record of the sufferings inflicted on the Jews of a dozen European countries. On any one of these counts it is a memorable and important work, and one which is unfortunately still relevant in today's world.
