Holocaust Told in One Word, 6 Million Times

THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Jodi Rudoren

More art than literature, the new book “And Every Single One Was Someone” consists only of the word “Jew,” repeated.

ISRAEL---There is no plot to speak of, and the characters are woefully undeveloped. On the upside, it can be a quick read — especially considering its 1,250 pages. The book, more art than literature, consists of the single word “Jew,” in tiny type, printed six million times to signify the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust. It is meant as a kind of coffee-table monument of memory, a conversation starter and thought provoker. Now Gefen Publishing, a Jerusalem company, imagines this book, titled “And Every Single One Was Someone,” ... in every church and synagogue, school and library. [link]
