Between pages 142 and 143 there are four pages of back and white photography.

In this book the author casts an anthropologist's precise gaze on one of the most horrendous and hideous eras in human history  the Holocaust. The author seeks to dispel what she calls the "Gorgon effect:" - the sickening of imagination and the draining of the will that afflict so many of us when we try to confront the horrors of this history. Exploring the experience of the Holocaust from both the victims' and the perpetrators' points of view. Looking at survivor's stories, and their strategies for understanding what happened, and, the motivations of the Nazi leadership; and finally she considers how the Holocaust has been portrayed in poetry, fiction, and film. Reading the Holocaust is an uncompromising attempt to extract the comprehensible --the recognisably human --from the unthinkable inhuman acts of the Holocaust. Rubbing of book edges and panels.
