Baskind, Samantha

This vivid approach to an important event will be appreciated by students and scholars of the Holocaust as well as general readers.

Baskind's careful and detailed analysis and art historical background, which looks back to depictions of Jews and Hebrew biblical scenes and figures by artists such as Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Hieronymus Bosch, make this a treasure for art historians and students; biblical, Jewish studies, and feminist scholars; and others.
