"Can we understand genocide?"
- asks Paul Levine, - "because understanding is the foundation of prevention. If we ever going to stop a genocide, we have to understand it... The Holocaust is ubiquitous in European life today. There is no understanding Europe without to understand Holocaust. Speaking about Holocaust as one genocide, Yehuda Bauer called it a paradigmatic genocide." - says professor Paul Levine in his lectures.
The book "Tell Ye Your Children", written for children, is telling stories about children and is addressed primarily to adults. The Israeli historian Yehuda Bauer called it "the best book written under 100 pages on Holocaust". The title of this book is based on a quotation from the Bible, Book of Joel 1:2-3:
“Hear show more this, ye old man, and give ear,
all ye inhabitants of the land
Hath this been in your days,
or even in the days of your fathers?
Tell ye your children of it,
and let your children tell their children,
and their children another generation.”
The book "Tell Ye Your Children" describes what human beings are capable of doing to other human beings when democratic values have been destroyed and replaced by an ideology advocating intolerance, hate and violence.
This book presents facts about the Holocaust and attempts to explain how the unimaginable became reality. It is re-printed over 20 years and exists in 18 languages.

svensk faktabok om Förintelsen[1]. Boken beställdes av Sveriges regering och ingick i den statliga informationssatsningen Levande historia. Den är författad av Stéphane Bruchfeld och Paul A. Levine och utgiven av Regeringskansliet under tidigt 1998. Boken erbjöds därefter att beställas av föräldrar som hade barn som gick på mellanstadiet och uppåt.

"Erzählt es euren Kindern" ist ein gut gemachtes Überblickswerk zum Thema Holocaust. Es wird erfolgreich versucht, durch das Darstellen von Einzelschicksalen eine zu nüchterne Betrachtungsweise dieses schrecklichen Teils der europäischen Geschichte zu verhindern, ohne die Wichtigkeit einer klar umrissenen Abfolge der Ereignisse zu vergessen. Auch bei dem Zeigen von grausamen Bildern wird eine passende Balance gefunden, um weder zu verharmlosen noch abzustumpfen. Eine gute Einstiegsliteratur für Jugendliche, die auf 160 Seiten aber natürlich nicht schaffen kann, dem Thema wirklich umfassend gerecht zu werden (was aber vermutlich eh nicht möglich ist).

Paul A. Levine has studied Wallenberg and Swedish diplomacy during the Holocaust for twenty years. Using contemporary Swedish diplomatic documents never before studied, Levine places Wallenberg in an accurate historical context, providing an almost daily picture of his activities, including his essential negotiations with Hungarian officials, .' show more German and Hungarian Nazis, and other neutral diplomats. Through careful analysis of Wallenberg's own personal and diplomatic correspondence, this study provides a richer and more nuanced picture of this fascinating but generally misunderstood figure. Though not a biography, Wallenberg's up-bringing is explored, with the motives and goals for his mission analysed. This study replaces the one-dimensional caricature which has long dominated the public's view of Wallenberg with a more complicated individual who made history during the Holocaust. Paul Levine is Senior Lecturer at Uppsala University's Programme for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. He is co-author, with Stephane Bruchfeld, of the acclaimed book, Tell Ye Your Children; A Book about the Holocaust, 1933-J945, commissioned by the Swedish government and translated into sixteen languages. Levine is recipient, with Stephane Bruchfeld, of the Martin H:son Holmdahl Scholarship, one of Uppsala University's most prestigious prizes. show less
