Media Reviews

An epic of Polish Jewry and of the mystery of human hope... a great book. - The Boston Globe; If Singer's work can be said to have a single unifying theme, it may be... don't understand the world, or yourself, or anyone else too quickly. No matter how much you think you know, there is more, always more. - Gerald Jonas, The New York Times Book Review
