4.0 out of 5 stars Important under reported documentation, July 5, 2001
By E. Rodin MD (Sandy, UT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
John Sack has done the truth-loving community a great favor by publishing this thoroughly researched book. It deals with the manner of how the transition from German to Polish rule was effected in the areas ceded to Poland by the Allies. It is well known that Hitler had started "ethnic cleansing" of Poles from the "Warthegau" (areas annexed after the Poish campaign in 1939) and one can hardly wonder that the Poles most heartily reciprocated after Hitler's defeat. In view of the abundance of books about the Holocaust it is to Mr. Sack's credit to have shown to the world that Germans were also victims of Polish and Jewish revenge, when the opportunity arose. No past history of misdeeds was necessary, that they had been born of German parents sufficed. The fact that the author had to overcome a highly effective censorship before he was able to get the book published bodes ill for our society, which is so fond of its purported "freedom of speech." I am convinced that if Mr. Sack had not been Jewish the book would, in all probability, never have seen the light of day. If it had been self-published it would probably never have been reviewed and relegated to obscurity in spite of its intrinsic value. That Jews were in leading positions in the Polish State Security Office immediately after the war and that a number of them conducted themselves in an inhuman manner should surprise no one, unless one believes that Jews have transcended the bounds of the human race and joined the realm of the good angels. When it comes to war the worst of human instincts are released on both sides of the front. It needs to be remembered also that only the armies had stopped shooting on VE day while private wars, due to accumulated hatred by the oppressed, had continued for some time thereafter. In order to avoid another Holocaust we have to deal with the basic human phenomenon of hate, which cannot be legislated out of existence. Moralising will not do either. The roots of conflict must be exposed and intelligently dealt with by considering the grievances of both sides. This Mr. Sack has done in an admirable manner and An Eye For An Eye should be used in Holocaust education courses to show the universality of evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting, October 12, 1999
By A Customer
Congratulations to John Sack. I have read this book borrowed from someone and I have to have it myself. Is there any way the publisher will publish it again? I want to leave this exciting reading to my children and I also know about scores of my Polish compatriotes as well as Germans and Czechs in Australia, who are truth hangry and who would buy this book immediately if available. As a Pole of origin I am glad, that someone from the Jewish community took up the challenge, since the tragedy of many Polish officers and soldiers from the Home Underground Army was, that they have fought Germans during the war (having among other goals to protect also Jews), yet after the war they found themselves in the same prisons run by Jews as German criminals. I suppose Mr John Sack suffered much himself first facing the truth, secondly probably he was isolated from his Jewish friends and singled out as a black sheep. Whatever happened, Mr John Sack, our warmest feelings are with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes the world aware that no ethnic group is lily white, April 28, 1998
By A Customer
A professor at Harvard said that "every" German was responsible for the Nazi atrocities. After reading this book I ask him is every Jew responsible for the atrocities they committed on innocent German civilians?
