 Kasztner's Train“Not only did Kasztner strike a deal with the notorious Nazi Adolf Eichmann to buy the freedom of a train full of Jews, but the criteria for who got on the train were largely determined by their ability to pay. It’s a fascinating story about a Hungarian Jew who had the chutzpah to bargain with the Nazis. As Porter sees it, ‘If you’re in hell, who do you negotiate with but the Devil?’” Globe and Mail, May 30, 2008 Read more >> |
Kasztner's Train“Anna Porter’s book on the genocide in Hungary’s Jewish communities is the best book on the Holocaust by a Gentile ever written and rivals Prof. Michael Mariss’ holocaust work on the subject. Anna Porter is an absolute marvel as a historian of the Nazis and the Jews in Hungary. Her book gives you the smell of death of Adolf Eichmann.” National Post, Dec 2, 2008 Read more >> |
