This volume is an excellent resource, densely packed with well-documented data on a fascinating and neglected subject with which I have some familiarity. A few scholars have objected to some evidence (minor misspellings, etc.) that the author is not very familiar with the German tongue, but these criticisms are blown out of proportion and in no wise signal meaningful inaccuracies. I have seen the same general level of minor linguistic inaccuracies dealt with in a much more generous and respectful manner in other histories. It is possible that these criticisms have been leveled because of discomfort with the book's subject. In any event they are quite minor and unrelated to the factual content. Thus I have given the book 5 stars for the author's impressive accomplishments.

A deeper look into Hitler's atrocities. Never before had I heard anyone speak of the Black victims of the holocaust. This one should be required reading in schools.

Excellant book. Most people don't know that there were blacks in the holocaust, this book tells a lot.

As there is a lack of information regarding blacks duing the Holocaust, this book is a great resource. It is frustrating to find few eye-witness accounts, but Lusane does provide names of those in camps from which one can perform their own research. A must for anyone interested in finding out about how Nazi Germany affected more than the Jewish population.

Well worth the read,A must for anyone interested in finding out about how Nazi Germany affected more than the Jewish population.
