Beginning with one photograph, this moving book evokes the depth and range, as well as the intimacy, of Hitler's final solution in World War Two.
lucid and chilling book * The New Yorker *
extraordinarily powerful account * Neal Gendler, The American Jewish World *
[Golden Harvest] is a remarkable, stunning work* Gila Wertheimer, Chicago Jewish Star *
Golden Harvest is a harrowing and shocking book, all the more so because it is written in measured tones, drawing cautious conclusions, and is meticulously referenced. This book deserves to be read widely. * Francesca Trowse, Military History *
Starting from a disturbed posed photograph of paesant gleaners in search of "post-Jewish" gold in the soil of Treblinka death camp, Jan Tomasz Gross and Irena Grudzinska Gross have created in this profoundly moving volume a chilling, sometimes shocking, passionate, and yet always balanced examination of the extent to which plunder of Jewish possesion was often a communal enterprise in wartime and post-war Poland. * Madeline G. Levine, Kenan Professor of Slavic Literatures Emerita, University of North Carolina *
Jan and Irena Gross guide us expertly through the "Heart of Darkness" that was wartime Poland. Using a single, deeply disturbing photograph, this book captures brilliantly the whole terrifying rapaciousness of Polish * and Europeansociety as the Jews face the specter of elimination.Norman M. Naimark, Robert and Florence McDonnell Professor of East European Studies, Stanford University *
