Look How Easy It Is to Get A Free Copy of "From Horror To Hope"a book written by the German Information Center which explores the contributions of Jews to German life and culture over the many centuries and the tragedy of the Holocaust.

The book is really worth reading. It presents many interesting questions, such as why Jews are returning to live in Germany as well as a very good source of information describing how much Jewish culture influenced the area now called Germany, and how the Jews were treated over the past 1,500 years.

CHILDREN OF JOB -American Second-Generation Witnesses to the Holocaust: by Alan L. Berger, State University of New York Press, http://www.sunypress.edu.
