The Geographical Encyclopedia of the Holocaust in Hungary

“Indispensable.... To recommend this work to teachers, their stu­dents, and researchers is more than an act of friendship; it is the duty of remembrance that belongs to the realm of the sacred.” —Elie Wiesel

"...this reviewer would recommend that you urge your university libraries, as well as those that have a Holocaust section, to purchase this essential reference work." —Jewish Book Council
 

“...the most comprehensive collection of demographic, cultural, and religious descriptions of Jewish communities in Hungary at the onset of the Holocaust.... Very detailed.... Contains an extremely thorough index of place names....Particularly useful for Holocaust scholars, historians [of] Eastern Europe, students, and lay researchers. Essential.” —CHOICE

"A magisterial encyclopedia chronicling the wartime murder of some 600,000 Hungarian Jews by the Hungarian authorities in collaboration with Nazi Germany has taken center place in an exploding controversy over attempts of the current [Hungarian government] to shrug off the country’s enduring culpability for Holocaust crimes.... The Geographical Encyclopedia of the Holocaust in Hungary is an exhaustive three-volume research and teaching aid chronicling the annihilation of hundreds of well-established...Jewish communities deeply loyal to the indigenous society that enthusiastically participated in their destruction.... The book has been published at a critical moment...[as] the government...has established a state “historical research” body...whose intention is to rewrite history rather than research it.” —Thomas Ország-Land in The Jerusalem Report
