Shortly after i had sent what I took to be the final typescript of the current book to Camden House for publication, a book appeared entitled Tears Alone Are Not Enough (Tränen allein genügen nicht, 2005). This book, compiled and written by Stefan Jerzy Zweig, had a long gestation period, much longer than that of my own book. I had begun to think it would not appear, at least not in time for me to include other than the briefest reference to it in my own book. I know that Zweig approached several publishers, without success, before deciding to finance the publication of the book himself. Given the fact that his book is devastatingly critical of post-unification developments at Buchenwald, not least of Volkhard Knigge himself, it is probably not surprising that no German-language publisher would be eager to publish it. That he published it under his own auspices has, however, meant that he in no way needed to make compromises in the tone and content of his book. It is certainly the most uncompromising statement on Buchenwald's post-1990 development that I have read. I am most grateful to Jim Walker of Camden House for allowing me, in what will be a brief epilogue, to say something about Zweig's book. I am grateful to him, too, for allowing me to make some last-minute changes and additions to earlier chapters. There are not many of these changes and additions, but I was glad I had the chance to make them: I was thus able to take account of what was, for me, new information gleaned from Tears Alone Are Not Enough, particularly with respect to Zweig's time in the German Democratic Republic.

Stefan Zweig published Tears Alone Are Not Enough under the name of Zacharias Zweig and Stefan Zweig. While the first part of the book reproduces Zacharias's Yad Vashem testimony, the second half consists of Stefan's own largely autobiographical writings. Interestingly, Stefan has chosen to portray his own life and express his own thoughts in the third person; he thus ensures that the only first-person narrator in the book is his father, and indeed the whole book is an expression of deep and lasting indebtedness toward and love for Zacharias.
