| I
believe, along with many others, that your
book is one of the most important books of
the century. I find it difficult
to adequately verbalize how good Eternal
Treblinka is. It's the kind of book that
you fervently wish was "required reading"
by everyone because that's the only way it's
going to get read by the folks who really
need to read it. Thanks a lot for
your book. It is the greatest gift one could
give to the animal rights movement. It's one
of the few books which totally grabs the reader,
not only while reading it, but afterwards
also, and probably forever...it profoundly
disturbs, shocks and destroys. Important may
be an understatement when describing this
book, as it is describes a microcosm in mans'
history of destruction. It is the literary
equivalent of a swift kick to the head that
will jar the reader¹s perception of animal
cruelty hopefully beyond their next few meals. Charles Patterson's
book is bone chilling, effective and true.
I accept with conviction his conclusion that
cruelty to animals ultimately leads to atrocities
(genocides) by desensitizing us to violence
against the weak. The book
that breaks all taboos. The book that fires
up controversies all over the world. I continue to
feel that your book is one of the most, if
not the most important book on the subject
of Animal Rights now, because it gets to the
heart of the issue unlike any other. Charles Patterson's
Eternal Treblinka is a wonderful
book about terrible subjects, a work that
resonates and extends the best of liberal
humanism and broad left activism to the exploitation,
oppression and extermination of non-human
species...a great book that will both expose
readers to a world of valuable information
that is not available to them in other sources,
and help them, if they choose to act upon
what they read, become better human beings
in their relationship to both humans and animals. If anyone
has not read Charles' book, you should! It
is a terrific read and you will be compelled
to sit up all night with it, no matter how
much you'd rather put it down and go onto
lighter fare. You will then buy ten copies
todistribute to all your friends. Thank you, thank you for your book.
I wonder if true evolution will ever come--in
our lifetime. The strength of your book will
certainly bring more light to the darker places
of animal oppression. This extremely well-written and researched
book is eminently readable, and Patterson's
passion for the subject matter shines through
on each page. I will use your book as a healing
bible and continue to mention it as a reference
in every letter I write and every conversation
I have. Incredible book about the Holocaust
and how the mistreatment of animals justifies
the mistreatment of humans It remains the finest contribution
to the thinking, in our cause, that I will
ever encounter. Eternal Treblinka sounds like nothing
less than a monumental contribution to humankind. --Adrien Bischoff-Dyson (UK) Reading Eternal Treblinka is a shattering experience... Patterson writes so well that it is difficult to put this book down. --Grady Harp (Altadena, CA) The most important book on the Holocaust ever written. --Jon Wynne-Tyson, author of Extended Circle Every few years a book comes out that completely shocks the world. A book that forces people to change their ways, forces them to question what they have believed their whole lives, forces them to ACT, to DO SOMETHING. This is one such book. --David Vidaurre (San Jose, CA) A stunning book --John Williamson (UK) The rest of the world is learning what I knew immediately-- your book is awesome and life changing. --Meria Heller No one who reads this book will fail to be moved. --Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals Eternal Treblinka should be on every list of essential reading for an informed citizenry...for the compelling comprehensiveness of the life-and-death story it tells. --National Jewish Post & Opinion It's wonderful how ET is reaching so many people and it's only the beginning. Your brave book will remain and be a strong testimony when we're all long gone. --Patty Mark, Australia There is no doubt in my mind that you have written a great book. It is seldom that such a comprehensive work of scholarship springs from a heart of compassion in the service of a noble and necessary idea. All the ingredients of your thesis--that the oppression of animals serves as the model for all other forms of oppression--have been available to thinking people for generations, but it remained for you to pull them together into a case for animal rights that we as a species cannot afford to ignore. --Helen Weaver, author of The Daisy Sutra Every so often a book is written that has the potential to make an incredible difference. Eternal Treblinka is one such book. --N. Glenn Perrett There are good books...entertaining, useful, informative; great books...whose message reveals a fundamental truth previously unknown or overlooked; and important books... that can save lives and ameliorate suffering: Eternal Treblinka is all three. --Norm Phelps, Satya Magazine (NYC) Fabulous book --Ellen Roberts, Where Books Begin It is a book that will cause controversy, even outrage. But it will shake the complacency of all who are involved with food production and food consumption. It is an essential weapon in our struggle for a non-violent world. --David Graham, Vegan Organic Network (UK) Interesting and compelling book...highly revelatory, if disturbing, read --Mountain Xpress, Ashville NC It is a great book indeed and an eye opener for many people. --Eleonora Moser, SOS Saint Bernard Dogs, Geneva Compelling, controversial, iconoclastic...Eternal Treblinka is strongly recommended. --Midwest Book Review Patterson's book sheds light on the violence perpetuated every day against animals and humans alike so that we might one day put an end to it. --Moment Magazine Whether the comparison between the extermination of the Jews and our daily slaughter of millions of 'food' animals evokes agreement or outrage, you will want to read this meticulously researched and compelling treatment of a painful and controversial subject. --Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles ...written with great sensitivity and compassion...important and timely...I hope that Eternal Treblinka will be widely read. --Martyrdom and Resistance (Holocaust publication) I admire your dedication to the protection of all life and hope that your book will stir others to the same action. I will try to alert others here to this work and invite them to join me in reading it. God bless you. --Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, EDS, Cambridge MA Thank God for Charles Patterson. This is as important as any book that's ever been written. --Meria Heller, internet radio talk show host, Phoenix Eternal Treblinka is an eye-opening, thought-provoking book that I highly recommend as way of gaining additional insight into the psychology of the Holocaust. --Michael Fein, The Gantseh Megillah, Montreal, Canada Charles Patterson's book will go a long way towards righting the terrible wrongs that human beings, throughout history, have perpetrated on non-human animals. I urge you to read it and think deeply about its important message. --Dr. Jane Goodall Today I just finished reading one of the all-time BEST books, Eternal Treblinka, and must thank you for your immense contribution to humanity. It is my hope that your masterpiece will be translated into many languages and that it will receive the distribution it so richly warrants. For years I have been saying than anyone who eats animals is no better than a Nazi. It is great for me to have your Nobel-worthy work as validation. --Karen Marcus, J.D. Your book is powerful, moving, gut-wrenching, brilliant--destined to be a classic, I'm sure of it. I am grateful to be in it. I wish you every success in getting this stunning book the recognition and readers it so richly deserves. Mazel Tov on your achievement! --Aviva Cantor This is the most important book on human treatment of animals since Animal Liberation....Patterson does not offer any pat answers, but his book has clearly posed the problem, and that is what makes this a great book. --Keith Akers (review in VegNews) Amazing book, deeply impressive, awesome --Bruce Friedrich, PETA Surprising for its readability as well as its broad appeal. Somehow Patterson has managed to turn this educational work of non-fiction into something of a page-turner. --Josh Frank, Ph.D., FIREPAW It is such an important book and I just hope that it will open the minds and reach the conscience of many readers. Every evening I am looking forward to reading another chapter. --Jan Cejka Great and very courageous book --Marco Lorenzi, Milan, Italy Exciting, passionate, and daring --Tom Salsberg, L'Chaim Vegetarian Group of Toronto I consider this a very important achievement for animals and humans alike. Most probably your work will only be truly appreciated in years to come, but this is the fate of nearly all original and independent authors. --Christa Blanke, Germany Exceptionally well done. I'll recommend it to many others. A cold shower for relativists cozy in their SUV's, I hope many read it and I hope many Jews, like myself, make room for the lessons within. I don't see it as a diminution of the Holocaust. Quite the opposite. --Paul Allen You were relentless in your pursuit of the truth about man's treatment of animals. It takes a lot of integrity to write a book like this, to be so relentless. It made me cry to read it and I can guess what it cost you to write it. --Marilyn Klein Really excellent book...it is an impassioned plea for justice for all creatures. It speaks to me. --Anne Kelemen I regard Eternal Treblinka as one of the best and most important animal rights books ever published. --Erik Marcus I eagerly await the publication of Charles Patterson's book. It will make an invaluable contribution to the quest for a more just and compassionate world. --Dr. Elliot Katz, In Defense of Animals I'm happy to support your book, and I would like to buy copies of it in bulk when you are done so that the group I am involved with can sell it --Daniel Chard, New Haven CT Charles Patterson's book has the potential of being a very important and influential book. I strongly believe that a book putting the issue of violence against human and non-human animals in historical perspective will help many people better understand the issue, and that Charles Patterson's experience and background make him an ideal person to write such a book. --Richard Schwartz, Judaism & Vegetarianism I am so glad you are writing the book. It is so powerful. I write books calculated to allow people to see how easy and enjoyable it is to help animals, but they are little books. Your book is big. I hope to god it stirs everything up. Your book takes me to the edge. I think it is important and wonderful. You can tell publishers we will carry it. --Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA It sounds like you've got a terrific project underway. --Tom Gerety, President of Amherst College I look forward to what promises to be an important, thought provoking, and widely discussed book. Please send us an advance copy so we can inform our over 120,000 members nationwide. --Bradley Miller, Humane Farming Association We are looking forward to the publication of Charles Patterson¹s book. When it is completed it will be reviewed in the AWI Quarterly, and we would appreciate receiving an advance copy so we can help bring it to as wide an audience as possible. --Christine Stevens, Animal Welfare Institute I look forward to the publication of Charles Patterson's book. Putting the issue of animal abuse in historical perspective should clarify the issue for many people and help raise their consciousness. Please send me an advance copy so I can inform our 100,000 members about its publication. --Dr. Neal D. Barnard, PCRM It has great potential. --Joy Weinberg, Reform Judaism We at the Center for Compassionate Living fully support the publication of Dr. Patterson's book and look forward to receiving an advance copy so we may endorse it and inform our constitutents about it. --Zoe Weil, Center for Compassionate Living Your book sounds wonderful.

I look forward to being one of the first people to purchase the book --Kevin Smith, Jackson MS This is a message that must be told. Humans must stop and take an in-depth look at what we have been doing to all the occupants who share this planet with us. I would like to be added to the list of supporters. Thanks for asking--I'm honored. --Linda Hatfield, Golden Valley MN I'm glad to see that so many people have already endorsed your book. I'm sure it is going to be wonderful. I hope it's a roaring success and serves to educate people. --Dr. Marjorie Cramer (surgeon), PCRM I welcome this book not only because of its important subject matter, but because Charles Patterson is the author.
