The Janowska Road
The Janowska Road is a moving account of Jewish life during the Holocaust, and recounts the author's experiences in Lvov, Poland, from 1941-1945. Most of that time was spent as a prisoner in the Janowska concentration camp, where the author survived by becoming a member of a "Death Brigade", charged with reducing the bodies of internees to ash.

Who Speaks for the Vanquished?
Analyzes the activities and reactions of two Zionist organizations in America during the Second World War - the Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization (and the position of Henrietta Szold) and the American and World Jewish Congress. Traces the radicalization of anti-Jewish measures in Europe and the American Zionist organizations' lack of adequate response. Argues that they were more preoccupied with the postwar settlement and the growth of Palestine as a Jewish homeland than with the fate of European Jewry. Rescue attempts were minimal and only aimed at sending refugees to Palestine. Contends that even when clear information was given about the murder of European Jews, there was little response. Attacks Zionist historiography for its use of the Holocaust as propaganda for the State of Israel. Gives examples of what could have been done by Jewish organizations. Pp. 271-319 contain documents.

The Chief Rabbi, the Pope, and the Holocaust
In February 1945, Israele Zolli, chief rabbi of Rome's ancient Jewish community, shocked his co-religionists in Italy and throughout the Jewish world by converting to Catholicism and taking as his baptismal name, Eugenio, to honor Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli) for what Zolli saw as his great humanitarianism toward the Jews during the Holocaust. Almost a half a century after his conversion, Zolli still evokes anger and embarrassment in Italy's Jewish community. This book is the first authoritative treatment of this astonishing story. What induced Zolli to embrace Catholicism will probably never be known. Nonetheless, by painstaking scholarly detective work, through interviews in Italy and e...
Brygada śmierci
Weliczker was born in Stojanów (Lvov region) in 1925. From 1933 his family lived in Lvov. In 1941 they were interned in the ghetto; his parents and six siblings were murdered by the Nazis. In June 1943 he was taken from the Janowska labor camp for work in a Sonderkommando unit which dug trenches and burned corpses of murdered Jews in Lvov and environs. In November he and another man fled the Sonderkommando and survived until the end of war in a bunker built by a Pole, Kalwiński, outside of Lvov for the purpose of saving Jews. When Weliczker arrived in the bunker there were already 22 Jews hiding there. Weliczker took notes throughout the war and put them together in this testimony while he was in the bunker. Pp. 11-23 contain a preface by Rachela Auerbach.
The Origins of Nazi Genocide
Tracing the rise of racist and eugenic ideologies, Henry Friedlander explores in chilling detail how the Nazi program of secretly exterminating the handicapped and disabled evolved into the systematic destruction of Jews and Gypsies. He describes how the so-called euthanasia of the handicapped provided a practical model for the later mass murder, thereby initiating the Holocaust. The Nazi regime pursued the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, and the handicapped based on a belief in the biological, and thus absolute, inferiority of those groups. To document the connection between the assault on the handicapped and the Final Solution, Friedlander shows how the legal restrictions and exclusionary policies of the 1930s, including mass sterilization, led to mass murder during the war. He also makes clear that the killing centers where the handicapped were gassed and cremated served as the models for the extermination camps. Based on extensive archival research, the book also analyzes the involvement of the German bureaucracy and judiciary, the participation of physicians and scientists, and the nature of popular opposition.
