The Holocaust is without doubt one of the most abhorrent and
despicable events not only of the Second World War, but of the
twentieth century. What makes it even more staggering is that it
was not perpetrated by just one individual, but by thousands of men
and women who had become part of the Nazi ideology and belief that
Jews were responsible for all of their woes. This book looks at the
build up to the Second World War, from the time of Hitler's
appointment as Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, as the Nazi
Party rose to power in a country that was still struggling to
recover politically, socially and financially from the aftermath of
the First World War, whilst at the same time, through the enactment
of a number of laws, making life extremely difficult for German
Jews. Some saw the dangers ahead for Jews in Germany and did their
best to get out, some managed to do so, but millions more did not.
The book then moves on to look at a wartime Nazi Germany and how
the dislike of the Jews had gone from painting the star of David on
shop windows, to their mass murder in the thousands of
concentration camp that were scattered throughout Germany. As well
as the camps, it looks at some of those who were culpable for the
atrocities that were carried out in the name of Nazism. Not all
those who were murdered lost their lives in concentration camps.
Some were killed in massacres, some in ghettos and some by the
feared and hated Einsatzgruppen.
