This international selection includes stories by writers who experienced the Holocaust personally; other authors wrote about it long after the fact. Some pieces look at individual experience; others take a broader view. In addition to the stories selected, "When Night Fell" contains a useful introduction by the editors, putting the stories in context. Also included are a glossary of unfamiliar terms, a chronology of important events and a suggested reading list.
