This book explores the similar attitudes and methods behind modern
society's treatment of animals and the way humans have often
treated each other, most notably during the Holocaust. The book's
epigraph and title are from "The Letter Writer, " a story by the
Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer: "In
relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an
eternal Treblinka." The first part of the book (Chapters 1-2)
describes the emergence of human beings as the master species and
their domination over the rest of the inhabitants of the earth. The
second part (Chapters 3-5) examines the industrialization of
slaughter (of both animals and humans) that took place in modern
times. The last part of the book (Chapters 6-8) profiles Jewish and
German animal advocates on both sides of the Holocaust, including
Isaac Bashevis Singer himself.
The Foreword is by Lucy Rosen Kaplan, former attorney for People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and daughter of
Holocaust survivors. Her Foreword, the Preface and After-word,
excerpts from the book, chapter synopses, and an international list
of supporters can be found on the book's website at:
