This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
A thorough undertaking documenting another (smaller) chapter of the larger story- the terror of the Holacost on the Jewish people and the European continent.

A historical accounting it appears to be best suited for a college course rather than a book to be read for pleasure or enlightenment.

For anyone who has a pointed interest in the Jews of Lithuania this would be a worthwhile read.

I got the sense that this book served as a dissertation for a Doctorate thesis and degree. It is very thorough in its reasearch and documentation.… (mere)

A significant contribution to the history of atrocities committed against Jews during the Second World War. Karen Sutton offers sound arguments to the involvement of Lithuanian people in Hitler’s Final Solution. Read at times as a research dissertation, it is none the less interesting and well written.
