An understanding of the historical circumstances that fed the Holocaust remains the essential means of making sense of the inexplicable crimes that occurred. This commemorative volume describes Jewish life before the spread of Nazism in Europe and Nazi ideologies. The author discusses the mass murder, the death camps such as Auschwitz, the perpetrators, the witnesses, the escapees, the refugee havens and the 10,000 Kindertransport youngsters who were given safe haven in Britain. We are told stories of the resistance, acts of heroism, survivors and those who risked their lives to save the Jews. Finally, we learn about the liberation of the camps, the resettlement of the Jews and how the events are remembered now. The 15 removable documents included in this book have been carefully selected to take us beyond the horrifying statistics and remind us that each number was a person. They include: letter describing Kristallnacht and a diary extract about life in the ghetto; list of Jews to be transported, including place of departure and destination; and drawings by a child incarcerated at Theresienstadt concentration camp. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xHistory. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xAtrocities. 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 Atrocities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 The Holocaust |yc 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) |zEurope. |2bicssc 650 7 Second World War |yc 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) |zEurope. |2bicssc 650 7 European history |yc 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) |zEurope. |2bicssc 650 7 20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000 |yc 1939 to c 1945 (including WW2) |zEurope. |2bicssc 650 7 The Holocaust |zEurope |yc 1940 to c 1949 |y20th century, c 1900 to c 1999. |2thema 650 7 Second World War |zEurope |yc 1940 to c 1949 |y20th century, c 1900 to c 1999. |2thema 650 7 European history |zEurope |yc 1940 to c 1949 |y20th century, c 1900 to c 1999. |2thema 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 Mémorial de la Shoah. 852 0 |bspecial |hD804.3 |i.C87 2015
