We all know the horrors of World War II. Whether we learn the tales of Hitler’s Third Reich in history class or through films, commentaries and memoirs of concentration camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau, we will never forget the 6 million people lost not too long ago.

Between school, home and synagogue, we thought we knew it all about WWII and the Jews, right? At least that’s what I told myself when I picked up Icon of Evil by David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann. Well, think again.
