Gr 10 Up This set of essays is an excellent, comprehensive reference source. Entries describe and review more than 100 core works, and give information about their authors. Histories, biographies, diaries, etc., form two-thirds of the list, while the rest consists of literary fiction, poetry, and drama. Well-known authors such as Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank, Aharon Appelfeld, and Primo Levi are included, but it is the representation of a wide variety of other writers and more recent works that make the volumes outstanding. For example, James Carroll's Constantine's Sword is discussed, as are Deborah E. Lipstadt's History on Trial , Samantha Power's A Problem from Hell, and Nicole Krauss's best seller, The History of Love . All of these examples serve to provide a modern component to the study of the subject and expand the themes. The work also includes a number of reviews of popular young adult books on the Holocaust, such Carol Matas's Daniel's Story , Johanna Reiss's The Upstairs Room , Lois Lowry's Number the Stars, and David A. Adler's Our Golda . Each volume contains a list of the major European concentration camps and a time line of the genocide. The second volume also includes a further-reading list with more than 200 works listed by genre and a generous listing of useful Web sites.-Lisa Silverman, Sinai Temple Library, Los Angeles Trade Books>Hardcover>Literature>Literature>Lit Companions, Salem Pr Inc Core >2<
