A History of the Holocaust by Saul S. Friedman

Product Details

Synopsis

Rather than developing some grand philosophy of history, Friedman (Holocaust and Judaic studies, Youngstown State U.) sets out the basic facts of the Nazi attempts to exterminate Jews for students, lay readers, and teachers who may not have a clear understanding of the story. Among his topics are the history of persecution of Jews in Europe and Russia, the nature and rise of Nazism, persecution in various places ruled by Nazis and during various periods of the Reich, the roles of Britain and the US, the extermination camps, and punishing the guilty.
