Synopsis: A thoughtful and rigorous examination of the Jewish experience under Hitler&’s &“Final Solution&”—based on eyewitness accounts and contemporary evidence. Focusing on firsthand narratives from survivors and supported by contextual scholarship, Gilbert presents a masterful cross-section of the experiences of the millions of European Jews who lost their homes, careers, families, and lives at the hands of Hitler&’s &“Final Solution.&” The accounts of these journeys are at once unique and unified by both their tragedy and by their triumphs. Gilbert&’s vast knowledge on the subject, coupled with his frank and readable style, makes Final Journey accessible to readers and scholars alike. The text is supported by eighty-four photographs—many of which were published for the first time in 1979—and twenty-four pages of maps prepared by the author, which help bring the stories of the men, women, and children back to life in unflinching detail.
