The Holocaust
The annihilation of Jews during WWII is perhaps the most widely known genocide in world history. (In fact, the term "genocide" was coined in the early 1940s as a result of the systematic killings of Jews during WWII.) This book takes a close look at this particular period of history, from Hitler's rise to power and the growth of anti-Semitism to the deportation and extermination of the Jews. It also discusses the end of the war, the Nuremberg trials, difficulties that survivors faced, and how the Holocaust continues to affect us today.
* Reviews *
Book Review: The Holocaust"The story of how the Holocaust came to be is told in a dispassionate tone that imitates the steady path that led to such cruelty...Books such as this hope to answer questions about the Holocaust, but they also expose how easy it is to forget..RECOMMENDED."
