商品簡介
This four-volume set explores the Holocaust as symptomatic of modern society itself and not of some earlier, uncivilized world. It is based in part on an Encyclopedia of the Holocaust published more than a decade ago and revised here for a secondary school audience. About 300 entries cover topics that include the countries most involved in and affected by the Holocaust; the primary concentration and extermination camps in which millions of Jews and others were incarcerated and murdered; the major political, ethical and moral themes that arise from these events; and victims, survivors, perpetrators, and rescuers. Arranged alphabetically, entries range from a few paragraphs to several pages. and are cross-referenced. Also included is a timeline placing the Holocaust in the context of world events.
