48 Hours of Kristallnacht: Night of Destruction/Dawn of the Holocaust by Mitchell G. Bard Ph.D.

“Gripping oral history . . . A searing depiction of the Holocaust’s opening ceremonies.”

“The further away we get from the years of the Holocaust, the more necessary it is to recount what happened. One of the seminal events in Hitler’s goal to destroy European Jewry was the “Night of Broken Glass” -- Kristallnacht. Mitchell Bard provides a comprehensive and penetrating account that should be read not only as a history of Holocaust, but as a lesson for the future.”

“Kristallnacht’s new Book of Lamentations. Mitchell Bard’s 48 Hours of Kristallnacht’s power derives from the stark and vivid words of German Jewish children who, in a single day saw their well-ordered world suddenly destroyed by the Nazis’ brutality and the apathy and silence of neighbors and classmates.”

“The most detailed and thoroughly researched book yet on the events of Kristallnacht.”
