Overview

The Holocaust was a complex and horrifying experience that affected millions of people in Europe. The nearly 13 years of Nazi rule had an enormous influence on the day-to-day existence of people in every walk of life: Jews and non-Jews, perpetrators and rescuers, collaborators and resisters, officials and ordinary citizens. Nearly all of Europe's Jews were victims. Students, teachers, and interested readers can explore how the daily lives of these victims, despite their heroic efforts to survive and maintain a normal existence, became increasingly untenable and for most eventually ended in death. Along with the often harrowing details of life under the Nazis, emphasis is placed on uplifting accounts of resistance and the role of rescuers.

Editorial Reviews

Draws on the journals, diaries, photos, poetry, and personal testimony of survivors and victims of the Nazi Holocaust to present their stories as well as those of the victimizers, bystanders, and rescuers of the time. Follows the developing Nazification of Germany and its effects on the Jewish population, discussing ghetto relocation, the eventual deportation to concentration camps, life therein, liberation, and ultimately, the Nuremberg trials and aftermath of the Holocaust. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Booknews

The second edition of this textbook on the Holocaust has been expanded to include discussions on recent genocides in Darfur and Rwanda, anecdotal accounts concerning post-Holocaust atrocities and an analysis of why these types of abuses still occur. Soumerai, an author and Holocaust survivor, has joined with Schulz, a high school English and history teacher, to provide a thorough survey for students and scholars that traces the planning and execution of "The Final Solution." The authors include an insider's view of deportation and ghettoization, the death marches, life inside the concentration camps such as Auschwitz, liberation and the Nuremberg Trials.” —Reference & Research Book News
