Features: "Reading this small book that recounts a person's survival during World War II in the destroyed city of Warsaw can give you a deeper understanding of life than reading several volumes of the PWN encyclopedia." "The characters in the book are unusually vivid, but their moral implications are even more striking: Szpilman refuses to portray anyone as a hero or a demon." "The new book, 'The Destruction,' delves into unprecedented depth. This is the kind of work I ask you to read. Not to celebrate the victory of music or humanity over evil, but to take a small step toward understanding that dark era."
