Weaves the diverse voices of the Holocaust together, presenting local, national, and global narratives.

The Holocaust: Europe, the World, and the Jews is a readable text for undergraduate students containing sufficient but manageable detail. The author provides a broad set of perspectives, while emphasizing the Holocaust as a catastrophe emerging from an international Jewish question.

This text conveys a sense of the Holocaust’s many moving parts. It is arranged chronologically and geographically to reflect how persecution, experience, and choices varied over different periods and places. Instructors may also take a thematic approach, as the chapters have distinct sections on such topics as German decisions, Jewish responses, bystander reactions, and other themes.

Upon completing this book readers will be able to:

Grasp the historical conditions that led to the Holocaust
Understand the Holocaust as a multi-faceted historical event
Identify the perspectives of various individuals and groups involved
