Overview

"New museums, monuments, and memorials to the Holocaust now punctuate the skylines of many cities and towns throughout the western world. No other historical event commands this attention. No other historical event sits so visibly at the heart of our public, political, and social life." "Holocaust reshapes the way we think and talk about the greatest crime in history. Unrivaled in reach and scope, Holocaust is a story of all Europe, of the vast sweep of events in which this great atrocity was rooted, from the middle ages to the modern era. Award-winning authors Deborah Dwork and Robert Jan van Pelt frame the Holocaust in the history of Jews in the west - from traditional Christian anti-Judaism, through the Enlightenment, the birth of nation-states, the misery of World War I, and the unstable interwar period. Tracking the Germans' assault on the Jews as the Reich devoured Europe, Dwork and van Pelt tell a multifaceted story of social, political, and cultural upheaval and moral agony." "Weaving together the history of the Germans' domination of Europe and their murder of the Jews, Dwork and van Pelt show the intimate connection between the conduct of World War II and the persecution and ultimate genocide of the Jews. They tell of the experience of wartime occupation, the suffering of marked victims, the failure of international rescue, and the success of individual rescuers. No other book in any language has so embraced this complex story."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
