To make it brief - this is the most heart-stopping book about the Holocaust that I've read so far. An amazing literary work [Prix Goncourt in the early 60s]. Not widely known in the US, at least none of people I know have heard of it.

I agree, although I read "The Last of the Just" many years ago, it is certainly memorable. Five minutes ago I finished re-reading "Holocaust" by Gerald Green, author of "The Last Angry Man." I recommend it highly; it, too, is memorable.I found this message from you because I was looking for information on Andre Schwartz-Bart. I though I heard he'd passed away this weekend.
Thank you for reminding me of "The Last of the Just" — I shall have to re-read that one too.

I read this book during my senior year at UC Santa Cruz. The book has long been out of print. Believe it or not, but I scored it at a garage sale and still have it. It should be a required reading.

Andre Schwartz-Bart mentioned an old Jewish love poem in his novel.
Hear O Israel, the Eternal Our God, the Eternal is One. O Lord by your grace you nourish the living, and by your great pity you resurrect the dead; and you uphold the weak, cure the sick, break the chains of slaves; and faithfully you keep your promises to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like unto you, O merciful Father, and who could be like unto you?
I need to know the name of this poem, and even better the rest of the poem.
