"A classic Holocaust memoir restored to print in a recast scholarly edition. Surpasses them all...' cannot go through its pages and remain unchanged."
Elie Wiesel

In
The Holocaust Kingdom the concerns were primal: the survival of ''s self, wife, and child. Yet this unique and unflinching memoir of a Polish-Jewish family that survived the Warsaw ghetto as well as concentration and death camps reaches beyond the personal experience of those years to capture the story of doomed millions. From the book cover.
"Extraordinary—marvelous. So fair, so balanced, so just, so true."
Saul Bellow
"The thousand ways in which man's hopes can be ended have been told in other books, but Alexander Donat's memoir goes beyond them all."
Gertrude Samuels, The New York Times Book Review
"Tells us in a chilling way precisely how the virus of antisemitism was spread (most effectively perhaps in the name of Jesus, at the very heart of perverted prayer and worship)...here the Warsaw ghetto and concentration camp take on a terrible personal meaning for us."
Malcolm Boyd, The Christian Century
"Shattering."
Irving Howe
