This volume offers the first, in-depth comparison of the Holocaust
and new world slavery. Providing a reliable view of the relevant
issues, and based on a broad and comprehensive set of data and
evidence, Steven Katz analyzes the fundamental differences between
the two systems and re-evaluates our understanding of the Nazi
agenda. Among the subjects he examines are: the use of black slaves
as workers compared to the Nazi use of Jewish labor; the causes of
slave demographic decline and growth in different New World
locations; the main features of Jewish life during the Holocaust
relative to slave life with regard to such topics as diet, physical
punishment, medical care, and the role of religion; the treatment
of slave women and children as compared to the treatment of Jewish
women and children in the Holocaust. Katz shows that slave women
were valued as workers, as reproducers of future slaves, and as
sexual objects, and that slave children were valued as commodities.
For these reasons, neither slave women nor children were
intentionally murdered. By comparison, Jewish slave women and
children were viewed as the ultimate racial enemy and therefore had
to be exterminated. These and other findings conclusively
demonstrate the uniqueness of the Holocaust compared with other
historical instances of slavery.
