Combining rich documentation selected from the five-volume series
on Jewish Responses to Persecution, this text combines a carefully
curated selection of primary sources together with basic background
information to illuminate key aspects of Jewish life during the
Holocaust. Many available for the first time in English
translation, these letters, reports, and testimonies, as well as
photographs and other visual documents, provide an array of
first-hand contemporaneous accounts by victims. With its focus on
highlighting the diversity of Jewish experiences, perceptions and
actions, the book calls into question prevailing perceptions of
Jews as a homogenous, faceless, or passive group and helps
complicate students' understanding of the Holocaust. While no
source reader can comprehensively cover this vast subject, this
volume addresses key aspects of victim experiences in terms of
gender, age, location, chronology, and social and political
background. Selected from vast archival collections by a team of
expert scholars, this book provides a wealth of material for
discussion, reflection, and further study on issues of mass
atrocities in their historical and current manifestations. The
book's cover photograph depicts the 1942 wedding of Salomon
Schrijver and Flora Mendels in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam.
Salomon and Flora Schrijver were deported via Westerbork to Sobibor
where they were murdered on July 9, 1943. USHMMPA (courtesy of
