The Holocaust
Since the 1960s, the term “Holocaust,” from the Greek for “a burned offering,” has been used to refer to the murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis during WWII. Now Doris L. Bergen provides a concise history of this mind-numbing genocide in The Holocaust. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this history traces not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazis, including Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals, Soviet POWs and the disabled. Written in clear and eloquent prose, and drawing on firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims and eyewitnesses, The Holocaust is a concise, thoughtful account of horrors that, despite all analysis, will forever remain unthinkable.
