"With the aging of Holocaust survivors, it is increasingly vital that references dealing with this massively important event be made available. The attempted extermination of the Jewish race - as well as the murder of millions of other victims the Nazis deemed "inferior" - must not be forgotten." "The A to Z of the Holocaust focuses on the unprecedented nature of the German assault on the Jews. It provides readers with the facts of the Holocaust, emphasizing the central role Jews played in the Nazi genocide. The introductory essay presents a historical overview of the Holocaust and is followed by individual entries on the subject and an extensive bibliography. This book is an easy-to-use reference for history scholars, students, and general readers."--BOOK JACKET.

"This resource guide will help readers locate over 800 first-person accounts, fiction, poetry, art interpretations, and music by Holocaust victims and survivors, as well as videos relating the testimony and experiences of Holocaust survivors. In addition to the few well-known writers, artists, and musicians whose work so eloquently captures their experience during the Holocaust, this guide introduces the work of more than 250 lesser known or unrecognized writers, artists, and musicians from many countries who documented their experience of persecution at the hands of the Nazis. This guide will help students to gain firsthand knowledge of what it was like to experience the Holocaust and how ordinary people created art and meaning from the ashes of their lives."--BOOK JACKET.

"The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust offers readers and researchers a general history of the Holocaust while delving into the core issues and debates in the study of the Holocaust today." "Armed with the tools contained in this volume, students or researches investigating this vast and complicated topic will gain an informed understanding of one of the greatest tragedies in world history."--BOOK JACKET.

This concise, easy-to-use resource on the Holocaust is rich in factual and statistical information, and provides a comprehensive compilation of the people and terms that are essential for an understanding of the Holocaust. In 2,000 entries, it profiles major personalities, covers concentration and death camps, cities and countries, and significant events. Also included are important terms translated from German, French, Polish, Yiddish, and twelve other languages. Biographical entries give a brief history, the person's significance, and their historical context. Geographical entries pinpoint exact locations using other cities or countries as landmarks, and give the number of Jewish inhabitants before Nazi occupation, and the percentage of Jews killed. Historical background is provided for such events as Kristallnacht and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and entries on concentration and death camps give details on the nationalities interned, each camp's specific location, and its history.
