As has been said it is vital that this period in history is studied and not forgotten. It may be an uncomfortable book but its not meant to be entertaining - its meant as a reminder of the evil that men can do and also in the hope that we will never repeat this horror ever again. Having stood in a gas chamber in Dachau I can tell you thats its one of the most horrible experiences ever and I defy anyone to do it and not be reduced to tears. Which is why I detest Holocaust deniers so much.
