The Holocaust and Life Under Nazi Occupation
Accessible text details the murderous policies that the Hitler and the Nazis inflicted upon Jews and other "undesirables" in occupied Europe during the Holocaust. For the first time in history, a modern industrial state harnessed modern production techniques exclusively to serve the goal of exterminating a people--European Jewry. The book documents these developments under the Nazi regime, including the institution of the Nuremberg Laws and exclusion of Jews from German life in the 1930s through the systematic murder of millions of European Jews in concentration camps during World War II. An honest, accurate picture of the Nazi genocide, including the racial beliefs that made the Holocaust possible, is presented.

Book
review: The Holocaust and Life Under Nazi Occupation
"This book leaves no room for doubt about the Nazi
occupation and its effects on the Jews of Europe and all others the Nazis
considered undesirable. It documents with pictures, descriptions, a timeline,
and a glossary what occurred in Europe from the 1920s to 1945. The book also
addresses Mein Kampf, a book of Hitler's core beliefs, to help readers
understand the cornerstone for later events. ... photographs as well as written
articles are used to document the story. ... The text is dense and rich in
information. It is recommended for ages 14-adult."
