What is incontrovertible is that nearly a million (mostly) Jews were exterminated in about 3 years, mostly from the Warsaw ghetto, arriving in daily trainloads of cattle cars.

Moram priznati da je bilo frustrirajuće čitati intervjue jer sam si često postavljala pitanje: Je li to bilo stvarno tako, je li ovo sada ublaženo sjećanje, nedostatno pamćenje ili su neke stvari namjerno izvrnute?I got left with the feeling that they had overcomplicated something that could have been solved much more easily, and with less danger to their lives, too. Una lettura complessa ed inquietante, per la vicinanza che ci si ritrova ad avere, sembra quasi di sentirlo sulla propria pella, con le fabbriche di morte naziste.

Meg's head should have been whirling like mine as she tried to determine what exactly was happening and who was the perpetrator. She is one of my three favorite romantic suspense authors, along with Ellis Peters and Mary Stewart, and this one was just as good as all her others. Decades later, biographer Gitta Sereny interviewed Stangl and challenged him to describe his life and crimes in his own words. Fritz Stangl presided over this whole operation from the construction of the camp buildings and charnel houses to the final dismantling the gas chambers and dispersal of the troops to other sites.And that is a huge accomplishment, because it isn't easy to understand what motivated a man like Stangl, what kept him loyal to and even proud of his "work," and how he (and his family) lived with the knowledge of what he was part of. Perhaps the definition of a worthy book about the Holocaust is that it leaves you asking more questions than it answers.
