John Sack: An Eye for an Eye. The Story of Jews Who Sought Revenge
for the Holocaust
THE BOOK THEY CAN'T SUPPRESS
Not for sixty years has a book been so brutally (and, in the end,
unsuccessfully) suppressed as An Eye for an Eye. One major newspaper, one
major magazine, and three major publishers paid $40,000 for it but were scared
off. One printed 6,ooo books, then pulped them.
Two dozen publishers read An Eye for an Eye and praised it. "Shocking,"
"Startling," "Astonishing," "Mesmerizing," "Extraordinary," they wrote to author
John Sack. "I was riveted," "I was bowled over," "I love it," they wrote, but
all two dozen rejected it. Finally, BasicBooks published An Eye for an Eye.
It "sparked a furious controversy," said Newsweek. It became a
best-seller in Europe but was so shunned in America that it also became, in the
words of New York, "The Book They Dare Not Review."
Since then, both 60 Minutes and The New York Times have
corroborated what Sack wrote: that at the end of World War II, thousands of Jews
sought revenge for the Holocaust. They set up 1,255 concentration camps for
German civilians -- German men, women, children and babies. There they beat,
whipped, tortured and murdered the Germans.
"The events are vivid, the language is powerful, the conclusions appear just.
The book should be read and become part of the all too gruesome document the
world calls history," the New York Daily News.
