Review

"While all religions survive precariously in the Soviet Union, Judaism struggles against singular oppression . . . Wiesel does not portray a self-pitying Soviet Jewry. Rather, he stresses the indomitable strength of their belief. His most moving images focus on the students, who by all laws of logic should have spiritually vanished into the mainstream of Mother Russia long ago."
--"The Christian Science Monitor"

One passionate outcry, both in content and in style.
Isaac Bashevis Singer, The New York Times Book Review
