Designed for secondary school and college student research, this
work is a readable history and ready-reference guide to the
Holocaust based on the most recent scholarship. It provides the
reader with an overview of Nazi Germany's attempt to exterminate
world Jewry. Fischel, a leading authority on the Holocaust,
combines narrative description, analytical essays, a timeline of
events, lengthy biographical profiles, and the text of key primary
documents relating to the Nazi plan for the "Final Solution" to
help students gain a comprehensive understanding of the causative
factors and major events and personalities that shaped the Nazi
genocide. A glossary of key terms, selected tables, and an
annotated bibliography of recommended further reading will aid
student research. Topical essays designed for the student and
general reader provide an accessible historical overview and
analysis of Hitler and the Jews, the racial state, genocide, the
"Final Solution," and resistance to the Nazis. Fischel explains the
factors that led to the Holocaust, the implementation of the
decision to exterminate the Jews, the response of the free world
and the Papacy, the role of "righteous gentiles" who risked their
lives to save Jews, and the resistance of the Jews to their fate
under the Nazis. Biographical sketches provide valuable information
on the key personalities among both the Nazis and Allies, and the
text of key primary documents brings the Nazis blatant plan for
genocide to stark reality. In providing valuable information,
analysis, and ready-reference features, this work is a one-stop
resource on the Holocaust for students, teachers, library media
specialists, and interested readers.
