WITNESS HOUSE, THE(ISBN=) 英文原版

“A richly detailed and deeply researched account.” —The
Washington Post
“Kohl’s journalist touch…brings a human element to the rather
inhuman stories that came out of the trials…The Witness House is an
important reminder of how, at the end of war, we still have to eat
at the same table. Finding a civil way to do so is perhaps the key
to healing.” —NPR.org
“Richly detailed and deeply researched… [The Witness House is] a
360-degree view of this critical time in history.” —The Denver
Post
“Drawing on interviews, primary source materials, and recently
disclosed documents,
Kohl introduces a cast of characters who, if not actually real
participants in the events described, would seem to be the product
of a work of fiction.” —Jewish Book World
“The history of World War II is so rich in character and detail
that fiction presented alongside often pales in comparison, and
this is especially true for a story so nuanced and taut as Kohl
presents in The Witness House. The cast of characters, setting, and
plot twists in the slim book are so extraordinary that, were they
not entirely true, they simply could not be believed.” —ForeWord
Magazine
“Kohl offers a glimpse of the Nuremberg trials refreshingly unlike
that provided by standard histories. An improbable story of
perpetrators and their victims forced to share the same domestic
space, The Witness House is at once humorous, moving and
disturbing. It is a fascinating read.” —Lawrence Douglas, Amherst
College, author of The Memory of Judgment: Making Law and History
in the Trials of the Holocaust
“A fascinating glimpse into the very human and remarkably
harmonious society created in the microcosm of an Allied guesthouse
where victors, vanquished and victims were lodged together during
the Nuremberg Trials. Ms. Kohl, in this very readable book written
with tremendous sensitivity, contributes greatly to the neglected
history of the human condition in the postwar chaos of Europe.”
—Lynn Nicholas, author of The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe’s
Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War
“Kohl deserves high praise for this fascinating new book, tapping
into a story most people have never heard of but which provides a
vital footnote to our understanding of the post-World War II
world.” —Don and Petie Kladstrup, authors of Wine & War: the
French, the Nazis and the Battle for France’s Greatest Treasure
