This is a collection of 17 essays by different writers who explore different sides of Holocaust.
Honestly, this is my second on this topic since I read the Anne Frank long back. However, this did come up with a lot of analysis that it intrigues you further to pick up more.
This is a bit difficult read irrespective of what you've read or heard about Holocaust. I'll say this is a bit brief but gives you the larger picture of all the different elements.
One of the points which is emphasised well is that a lot of records/documents were lost/never found. And a lot of the instructions were never really recorded in a formal way. With the opening up of archives of different countries there will be better understanding of many obscure details.
It is not very academic even if there are is a very large notes section for each of the essays. Which simply means that one book can't really help us comprehend the scale of the larger events.
Peace
