...there is always a tremendous old-fashioned poignancy in Hardin's roughhewn songs. And some of them are blessed with a surprising humanism: "Ev'ry moment means so much/ When your baby's skin is there to touch/ Every moment bringing more/ That's what mother and father are for." There are times, though, when Hardin's hesitant hoarseness does a disservice to his music; other folk singers, particularly Joan Baez, are more capable of illuminating the songs' best qualities and subduing their recurrent banality...

...Jews, to Warsaw's Umschlagplatz, a transfer point to Treblinka, where a child's tongue was cut out "with a pocket knife for making a face at a guard." One chilling passage portrays Eichmann himself, standing over a killing pit near Minsk and watching a pleading Jewish mother hold up her baby just before the bullets strike. "I was so close that later I found bits of brains splattered on my long leather coat," Eichmann said afterward. "My driver helped me remove them. Then we returned to Berlin...
