Review Quotes

"It is difficult to be unmoved by Katzs stories."

"Katz is a good storyteller. Her narratives are crisp, clear and to the point. The reader is made to see how injustice is done and to understand its consequences. She makes the case for the importance of compensation and, at the same time, she makes clear how inadequate a concept "compensation" turns out to be in such circumstances."
