Product Description
Review
Briefly but very cogently combining a lucid account of the Holocaust with remarkably up-to-date discussion of the major historiographical debates which have arisen, it is also notable for its fairness and balance... this is the best short, general book on the Holocaust now in bookshops. (History Review )
This single book is packed with information and stands on its own as providing a very comprehensive account of the Holocaust and the issues surrounding it. Strongly recommended. (The Lecturer )

Product Description
This title provides a detailed account of the issues and events which led to the Holocaust, and discusses the historiographical interpretations surrounding that event. The book examines anti-Semitism in Europe generally (and Germany in particular) before 1933, the nature of Hitler's rule in Germany and Nazi anti-Semitic policy from 1939 to 1941 (including the Madagascar Plan and the creation of the Polish ghettos) as well as Nazi euthanasia policies during the same period. The volume concludes by exploring the horrendous developments from 1941 onwards and attempts to reach a balanced conclusion by determining who was responsible for the ultimate "Final Solution".

Format:Paperback
As a teacher this is a useful tool in attempting to teach such a difficult subject. As with other such titles, Access to History, have once again set out the text in a way which is applicable to students on an A level course. Useful for those on the AEB modern european course and those, who from curriculum 2000, will study (AEB) unit 6 - the Holocaust. A must in every school & college library and an affordable price for many students or departments. Up-to-date, analytical and compelling.

A wonderful book, that gives accurate details concerning the origins of anti-semitism and how it escalated during Hitler's reign and throughout the second world war. The clarity of this book is excellent, with clear sections and explanations at the end of each chapter. This is an ideal book for students, with relevant questions on the end of each chapter, getting them to write down what they have just read. This is a must!

This is a superb resource for any student studying A-level history and in particular anyone who needs help in a question along the lines of who was the main instigator of the Final Solution. After using thissource to help with my coursework i believe i got an A or B. All quotes were attributed to the author via footnotes. What i liked abpout this book was that there was limited opinionistic interpretation throughout except, of course at the very end when the author makes his own conclusion. What also impressed me was the fact that even though i read the conclusion of Mr Farmer i didnt come to the same one. This shows how unbiased the author writes.
Throughout the book there are numerous sub chapters that focus on a particular group or person and how they conributed to the steps towards The Final Solution. This book is written clearly and concisely and fails to cloud the readers mind due to opinions of the author on how to interpret evidence given.
A faultless resource for anyone interested in The `Final Solution'
