Holocaust

the long version

Unrivaled in 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. It tells of Nazis and their allies, the suffering of marked victims, the failure of international rescue, and the success of individual rescuers. Oral histories recorded by the authors over fifteen years across Europe and the United States, as well as never-before-used archival documents, letters, and diaries, distinguish this account. Holocaust negotiates the chasm between two histories, that of the perpetrators and that of the victims and their families, shining new light on a dark and terrible time. - Back cover.
