"A detailed, first-hand account of the atrocities committed against Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust ..."--Provided by publisher. "A gripping first-hand account of the devastating "last chapter" of the Holocaust, written by a privileged eyewitness, the secretary of the Hungarian Judenrat, and a member of Budapest's Jewish elite, How It Happened is a unique testament to the senseless brutality that, in a matter of months, decimated what was Europe's largest and last-surviving Jewish community." -- Publisher's description |
