Received this book as it was described - in new condition! I ordered the book the American way (at the last moment and OMG I need this tomorrow for a gift mode - LOL) and this seller was sooooooo accomodating. Before he had written consent that I would pay extra for postage, he had mailed it. Of course i paid a little extra - well worth it- thank you sooooo much! The book was a huge surprise for the person I gifted it to and so thank you again for allowing me to give it to her on her special day! I would do business with them again!

Format: Paperback

I purchased this book as a gift for someone I had taken to the Holocaust Museum. (I have had a hard copy of the book for years.) It is a wonderful book about a remarkable place that EVERYONE should visit when in DC.

Own This Book Along With A Visit To The Museum

Format: Hardcover

This book tells the story of the founding and exhibits of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. This book does not replace visits to the Museum. It is an excellent reference book to have in combination with visits to the Museum. The Holocaust Museum is one of the finest Museums in Washington, DC. The history told at the Museum is powerful in so many ways. My hope is that humanity can learn from history not to keep repeating the many horrific mistakes that were made during the period of Hitler and Stalin. We must always remember that most of the terrible crimes during this period were sanctioned, promoted and authorized by National Governments. The Governments of nations can and do become evil, corrupt and murderous. We the people of the world must be forever vigilant against vesting too much power in the hands of too few people. Concentrated power almost always becomes corrupt. We must learn from history how to prevent the concentrations of power in too few people. These concentrations of power can sooner or later lead to evil. Even power that is initially built on good intentions will good bad eventually. That is the nature of the human condition that we must fear that charismatic leaders will concentrate power in ways that are unhealthy and deadly. We should find ways to avoid electing charismatic leaders as these types of leaders are just too dangerous. The Holocaust happened just seconds ago in terms of the lifespan of our planet, and something like it will happen again unless we learn the lessons taught to us by history.

Book was not Hardcover

Format: Hardcover

In the description it says it is hardcover but when book arrived it was a paperback book. Book was suppose to be new but spine of book has stretched out and a small tear on back cover. I have sent book back. Really want hardcover because it is a gift for my mother. It looked like it was a beautiful book and if it does not matter to you if it is Paperback by all means order this book.
