"Breslau, the leading city in East Germany, had a Jewish community of 20,000 which, prior to 1933, played a prominent part in the economic, social, and cultural life of the city. Professor Ascher's pioneering study describes in minute detail how the Nazi authorities, over a number of years, systematically 'liquidated' this community until no one remained. He also relates on the basis of much hitherto unknown or unused material how the Jews reacted individually and as a community. It is a tragic story repeated many times over in Germany and other European countries, but it has never before been told in such authoritative detail. It is much more than local history and will serve as a model for the historiography of this dark period."--Walter Laqueur
