On November 7, 1938, 17-year-old Herschel Grynszpan shot Third Secretary Ernst von Rath in Paris, setting off the Night of Broken Glass and the Holocaust. Examining German documents never-before-revealed--including a startling coded "confession", Schwab probes the background of Grynszpan and demonstrates the power of the human spirit against overwhelming odds.

In her acclaimed 1993 book Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called putative WWII historian David Irving "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." A prolific author of books on Nazi Germany who has claimed that more people died in Ted Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, Irving responded by filing a libel lawsuit in the United Kingdom -- where the burden of proof lies on the defendant, not on the plaintiff. At stake were not only the reputations of two historians but the record of history itself.

This complete history incorporates the 'voices' of the Holocaust, not only the perspectives of the victims, but also the perpetrators and bystanders. Bergen reveals the common misunderstanding that the Holocaust was aimed solely at Jews. In actual fact the Holocaust claimed the lives of 12 million people and incorporated many different social and ethnic groups. The Nazi program of destruction not only focused on Jews, but the disabled, Gypsies, Poles, Soviet POWs, homosexual men, Afro-Germans and Jehovah's Witnesses. The Second World War enabled this carnage by conquering territories and people, turning soldiers and doctors into trained killers, and creating a veneer of legitimacy around vicious acts of 'ethnic cleansing' and genocide. Bergen's pathbreaking study uses cutting-edge and original research to reveal how these attacks were linked in a terrifying web of violence and brings to light the real extent of the most notorious and far reaching campaign of genocide in modern history.

This book is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to add another layer to their understanding of the Holocaust by visiting these important sites for themselves. It provide a survey of all the major Holocaust sites in Europe, from Belgium and Belarus to Serbia and Ukraine: not only does it discuss the notorious concentration and death camps, such as Auschwitz and Ravensbruck, but also less well known examples, like Sered' in Slovakia, together with detailed descriptions of massacre sites, as well as the ghettos, 'Euthanasia' centres and Roma and Sinti sites which witnessed similar crimes. Throughout the book there is also extensive insight into the many museums and memorials which commemorate the Holocaust. The Holocaust Sites of Europe is a thoughtful and fitting guide to some of the most traumatic sites in Europe and will be an invaluable companion for those who wish to honour the victims and understand more about their fate.

There is a European responsibility that should be accepted because the Holocaust is a European inheritance with roots in all of the European countries. Around 7,000 captives are still being drained in Auschwitz-Birkenau facilities as at the morning of January 27,1945. More than a million people who were sent to Auschwitz died there. Six million Jews are thought to have perished in the death camps. The creation of the Holocaust remembrance day and the prevention of the Crimes against Humanity was inspired by a council of Europe. In October 2022, the decision was made by the education ministers of the member nations. While 27th January the day Auschwitz was freezing has been dedicated to be Holocaust day, other nations' day vary depending on their own history experiences. To raise student awareness of those terrible times and to explore the topics of genocide and crimes against humanity and to promote prevention, understanding, tolerance, and friendship between nations, races, and religions, the Council of Europe also assists teachers with their preparations for Holocaust Remembrance Day by making teaching materials available. Days are set aside worldwide to remember the millions who perished as a result of Nazi Germany's homicidal policies. The remembrance, which is held on different dates around the world, frequently highlights the victims' acts of defiance and focuses on current campaigns against prejudice and anti-Semitism. This books zeroes in on the Holocaust day, why it is being celebrated, the events that happened as at those times and the background story behind its celebration. It also discusses in detail the Nazi concentration camps, their administration and so much more. It is also one of the ways that I play my part in raising awareness on those terrible times and how to be better in the future. If you need a book like this, click on "ADD TO CART "now!
