- Summary:
- "This reference work is an essential guide to one of the most horrific events in world history--the killing of 6 million Jews by Hitler's Nazi regime duringWorldWar II"-- Provided by publisher.
- "This volume showcases a detailed look at the multifaceted attempts by Germany's Nazi regime, together with its collaborators, to annihilate the Jews of Europe during the Holocaust. Several introductory essays, along with a rich chronology, reference entries, primary documents, images, and a bibliography provide crucial information that readers will need in order to try to understand the Holocaust while undertaking research on that horrible event. This text looks not only at the history of the Holocaust, but also at examples of resistance (through armed violence, attempts at rescue, or the very act of survival itself); literary and cultural expressions that have attempted to deal with the Holocaust; the social and psychological implications of the Holocaust for today; and how historians and other have attempted to do justice to the memory of those killed and seek insight into why the Holocaust happened in the first place"-- Provided by publisher.
