Brian Bauersfeld Book Review of: The Massacre at El Mozote The Massacre at El Mozote is a brilliant piece of writing that illustrates mankind’s brutal way of life, and the recklessness of Latin American countries, while questioning the United States’ lack of intervention during the end of the Cold War. Mark Danner’s first addition of The Massacre at El Mozote was published in the United States by Vintage Books in 1994 and it consists of 304 pages costing $15.00. This book takes the reader through the reasoning, planning, killings, and aftermath of the destruction of Salvadorian civilians, hamlets, and cities by Salvadorian army forces. The book demonstrates in detail the multitude and severity of the killings along with eyewitness accounts of the killings from survivors at El Mozote. Danner worked to illustrate the story from a variety of viewpoints, including how the United States came into the picture, how the guerilla rebel forces reacted to the mass killings of civilians by the Salvadorian army, along with how all of these relationships interacted with one other.

Its insight to widespread anti-Semitism, corrupt politics and outright fear of mass extermination has shed light on why the holocaust ever came to be. Only 200,000 people survived this monumental disaster and those survivors report they heard a final plea from those who were killed: “Remember! Do not let the world forget!” (Bauer 1982) The survivors have added a plea of their own: “Never again” (Bauer 1982). “Don’t ever let this come again for the Jewish people; never for any people” (Bauer 1982). The Holocaust was a horrific bloodbath that will forever leave a mark on our world’s history.
