Eloquent and moving...daring and comprehensive...What Mr. Roskies has accomplished in Against the Apocalypse documents a virtually unknown chapter in the history of the refusal of Jews throughout the ages to surrender
-- New York Times Book Review

This majestic work has a quality, almost unseen today, of being at the same time erudite and elegantly written.
-- Hadassah Magazine

Roskies's work, densely argued, richly allusive, exemplary in its far-ranging scholarship, is itself a deeply felt response to the Holocaust and its memories; an affirmation of continuities as well as violent endings.
-- Times Literary Supplement

In this profound, subtle, and deeply moving book, Roskies lets us listen to the dialogue that the Nazis destroyed. It is hard to imagine a better way of keeping faith with those who died.
-- Boston Globe

A probing, seasoned, brilliant work.
