As a maths and Jewish studies teacher in a Jewish day school, Chernofsky wanted a different and meaningful way for his students to relate to the Holocaust. From there evolved this book that has just one word, six million times JEW. What would a book of six million Jews look like? This is a volume meant for library and institution presentations on the Holocaust, a daring attempt to give some small sense of the overwhelming number -- six million.

Mishpacha Magazine, March 2014, featured a lengthy and very moving study of this book, the author, and the emotion behind the project. Worth reading - see the review below! "Six million perished in the most catastrophic event in the history of the world. Every single one baby, teenager, man, woman had a face, a name. One million children were cut down before their prime. There is a chamber at Yad Vashem that overwhelms with innumerable photos of these missing children. Everyone was slain for the singular crime of being born Jews. Six million! Can you comprehend it? Didnt think so. New York-born Phil Chernofsky, educational director of the Orthodox Union (OU) Israel Center in Jerusalem, conceived this book to help you grasp that figure. As he doesnt have six million photos to display, Chernofsky lists each victims crime: Jew. The crime of being born a Jew is reiterated in 40 columns across each page. A very big book, consisting one word "Jew," repeated six million times over 1,250 pages, is not a book that you read with your eyes. It is a concept that stirs your heart." im Boxer, 15minutesmagazine.com Gefen, 1250 pages, $80.00 Amazon.com Price: $53.93)
