Encyclopedia of the Holocaust
SKU:100706
Original: $7.99
Product Description
The teaching of the history of the Holocaust is mandatory in many states in the U.S. as part of the secondary school curriculum. ''Encyclopedia of the Holocaust'' is a comprehensive, authoritative one-volume resource that provides reliable, non-sensational information on this heinous and frightening period of recent history. Teachers will find it an invaluable instructional tool to help students confront, understand, and never forget the people lost, the lives forever torn apart, and the events that gave rise to the persecution. Yad Vashem, created by the Israeli Parliament in 1953 as the premier memorial for the Jewish people, contains the world's single largest repository of information on the Holocaust; its name is synonymous with the most extensive collection of published and unpublished documents on this subject in existence in one place. Written in association with Yad Vashem, this encyclopedia features eight essays on the Holocaust on such topics as the history of European Jewry, Jewish achievements and contributions to European culture, and the rise of anti-Semitism. The essays are followed by more than 650 entries on the major subjects of the Holocaust, including people, cities and countries, camps, resistance movements, political actions, and outcomes. More than 300 black-and-white photographs - many never before published in one resource - bear witness to the horrors of the Nazi regime and attest to the invincibility of the human spirit. This book covers people such as: Irena Adamowicz, David Ben-Gurion, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Jacob Edelstein, Adolf Eichmann, Dwight David Eisenhower, Anne Frank, Joseph Goebbels, Herman Goring, Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Adolf Hitler, Cordell Hull, Josef Mengele, Benito Mussolini, Pope Pius XII, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Oskar Schindler, Joseph Stalin, Raoul Wallenberg, Elie Wiesel, Simon Wiesenthal, and Kurt Waldheim. It covers nations such as Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Soviet Union, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, and Yugoslavia. It covers cities such as Antwerp, Berlin, Brussels, Luxembourg, Munich, Minsk, Nuremberg, Odessa, Paris, Prague, and Warsaw. It covers camps such as: Auschwitz, Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, Blechhammer, Buchenwald, Dachau, Gross-Rosen, Pawiak Prison, Plaszow, Ravensbruck, Sachsenhausen, Sobibor, Skarzysko-Kamienna, Strasshof, Stutthof, and Treblinka. Events: The Anschluss, Anti-Nazi Boycotts, the Barbie Trial, the Bermuda Conference, Death Marches, the Eichmann Trial, Slovak National Uprising, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It also covers organizations such as: American Jewish Conference, Christian Churches, Council for German Jewry, Deutsche Ausrustungswerke, French Police, the Gestapo, Hungarian Gendarmerie, Institut d'Etudes des Questions Juives, Iron Guard, Office of Special Investigations, Red Cross International, Relief Committee for the War-stricken Jewish Population, United Nations War Crimes Commission, War Refugee Board, the Wehrmacht, and World Jewish Congress and much more.
