'Louis Rapoport has left us a touching, passionate and well-documented account of the little-known efforts of Hillel Kook (a.k.a. Peter Bergson) and his small band of allies to save the Jews of the Holocaust at a time when the American government and the American Jewish establishment too often closed their eyes.'

'Shake Heaven & Earth...it's the hardest book ever written about the extermination. And the most troubling for apologists for Franklin Roosevelt and the Jewish establishment.'
- Sidney Zion Daily News
A unique and crucial chapter of Jewish history that has until now been kept in the closet. This book sheds light on Peter Bergson as a man of courage and vision who stood against the tide of passivity at the most desperate moment in Jewish history in two thousand years.
