"The World Must Know documents the human stories of the Holocaust, from the families who receive sudden orders to report to this train stations for 'resettlement in the east' to the Nazi officials who determined who would live and who would die and to ordinary citizens, like those in the village of Le Chambon-sur- Lignon, France, who risked their own lives by hiding Jewish refugees in their homes. The powerful and provocative images in The World Must Know tell of hope and death – the grim reality of the ghettos and concentration camps, the efficient mobile killing units, and the grave and heart-wrenching stories of resistance and rescue." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
