The destruction of the Dutch Jews

"Beginning in 1940, 110,000 Jews were deported from the Netherlands to concentration camps. Of those, fewer than 6,000 returned. Ashes in the Wind is a story of murder, on a scale never known before, with organised malice and forethought. Jacob Presser documents the destruction of Dutch Jewry, from isolation to deportation and, ultimately, to extermination... Using 15 years of research Jacob Presser graphically recounts stories of persecution, life in the transit camps and the process of going into hiding." —Publisher of later edition
