Since today is Yom Hashoah a day dedicated to remembering the holacaust I felt it was a appropriate to recommend a book for today.

Treblinka by Jean-Francois Steiner

It is hard to even explain the book. Treblinka was a concentration camp, and this book is not about the holocaust exactly historically but more as a psychological examination about the genius of Germany, in how to keep millions subservient, how to control them, how to maximize an extermination of people. This book shows how scarily brilliant the Nazi machine was. It is also about the desire to survive.

My description does not do it justice.
