"In this profound and compassionate book we accompany a group of people travelling through environments affected by the Jewish Holocaust. Their story is compelling reading but the journey becomes even more significant as Winton Higgins makes the connections and takes us, in true Buddhist style, into the pain and truth of our own Australian story and invites us to stay there and know who we are." Dorothy McRae-McMahon.

"Part travel diary, part historical investigation, part reflection on contemporary Australia, in this sober and civilised book Winton Higgins has provided a remarkably lucid introduction to the study of the Holocaust." Robert Manne.
