The Investigation
by Peter Weiss
What readers are saying
Readers find The Investigation to be a profoundly impactful and harrowing play that starkly presents the testimonies from the Auschwitz trials in a chillingly bureaucratic manner. Many are moved by its unflinching depiction of the Holocaust, noting the emotional weight of the actual words used during the trial. The overwhelming consensus is that it is a must-read, although at times, it can be a challenging experience due to its graphic content.
