Praise for the French and Polish editions:
“A great and shattering book.” • Jan T. Gross“Emotion, sensitivity, and suffering are not the enemies of precision or historical rigor and can sometimes make it more substantial, even more accurate. This is what Nadine Fresco manages to do with strength and brilliance, through a steady effort of writing, in this moving book.” • Politis
“A meticulous and shattering investigation of eight horrific pictures, in which the progressive revelation of the truth is reminiscent of Daniel Mendelssohn’s The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million.” • L’Arche
“Around the pain, the anguish, the astonishment, the shame, the refusal to see, Nadine Fresco, with all her resources as a historian, delicately undertakes to build a shelter made of arguments, research on facts, deeds, and words. She envelops the horror while revealing it, and she shelters past sufferings as well as the one she awakens in the reader.” • La Quinzaine littéraire
“Fresco skillfully guides us from the flat surface of photography to the depths of the victims’ experience—their humiliation, loneliness, suffering, and death. A fascinating essay about the cognitive, aesthetic, and moral dilemmas of the photographic representation of the Holocaust.” • Jacek Leociak
