The horror of Antisemitism and the Holocaust, or Shoah, demands clear accounts be kept. By far one of the most complete and thorough texts, in word and picture, The Holocaust Chronicle records the events faithfully. ( )

NO OF PAGES: 765 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: On September 29-30, 1941, in Kiev, Ukraine, 33,771 Jews were stripped naked, shot by automatic fire, and buried in the Babi Yar ravine. Three and a half million Jews died in the gas chambers of the Nazis' six death camps in Poland. On August 23-24, 1942, 8000 Jews from Zdunska Wola, Poland, were gassed at Chelmno. On June 20, 1943, 5000 Jews from Amsterdam died at Auschwitz. The brutality went on and on. "There is no doubt," said Winston Churchill, "that this is probably the greatest and most horrible crime ever committed in the whole history of the world." This chronicle, written and fact-checked by top scholars, recounts the long, complex, anguishing story of the Holocaust. The mission of the publisher has been to report the facts, clearly and free of bias or agenda. The book's 3000-item timeline pinpoints the specific deportations, atrocities, and important developments in the "Final Solution" --as well as individual acts of cruelty, compassion, and so often, heroism. Two thousand photographs chronicle the Holocaust in starkly visual terms, bringing us to the site of a mass shooting, within feet of the corpse-burning ovens, and beside young, frightened mothers clutching their trembling children. Also pictured are portraits of perpetrators and victims, scenes of combat, and dozens of images of artifacts.NOTES: Generously donated by Kathleen Hartson, December 16, 2000.

This is an exquisite collection of Holocaust-related photographs. The old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words definitely applies here; this book gave me more of a sense of the Holocaust than all the reading I've done on the subject. In addition there is an excellent timeline of the Holocaust events. Highly recommended. ( )

This is a great book to have in any collection. It was heavily researched with many photographs and documents that bring every month and year of the holocaust to life for the read. It is sad and heartbreaking but it is part of the world's history and it must be studied, and remembered, that way the same thing will not happen again. ( )

[A Message from the Publisher] A booklet published in Jerusalem in 1940 by the United Aid Committee for the Jews in Poland termed the extermination of Europe's Jews 'sho'ah', a Hebrew word for mass slaughter.
[Foreword] When I first began to teach the Holocaust more than a quarter of a century ago, students often inquired about its relevance.
[A Letter from Herman Spertus] I believe in people.
[Introduction] It exists alone in history.
[Prologue] NIGHT, Elie Wiesel's famous Holocaust memoir, tells what happened to him in Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration, forced-labor, and extermination camp in Poland that he entered as a teenager in May 1944.
