Would This Be Hitler's Favorite Holocaust Book?
CHICAGO NOW
By Ed Nickow
PUBLISHING---Phil Chernofsky has created what might be Adolf Hitler's favorite Holocaust book. Chernofsky, the educational director the OU (Orthodox Union) Israel Center in Jerusalem, is the "author" of a 1,250-page volume entitled "And Every Single One Was Someone". Arguably, it's not really a book, but a work of art in the form of a book, and Chernofsky is the artist. It consists of the word "Jew", in 5.5 point font, repeated 6,000,000 times - once for each of the Jews exterminated in the Shoah. Yes, each of us has a name. Chernofsky has created the same sort of work that the Nazis might have created had they succeeded in their goal of exterminating the world's Jews (among others). But in Chernofsky's book - as in Hitler's Germany - the victims are, sadly, nameless. [link]
