Product Description
Product Description
The Holocaust - the murder of approximately six million Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators in World War Two - is the gravest crime in recorded history, committed on a human and geographical scale which is almost unimaginable. To try to bridge this gap and better understand the true significance of the Holocaust, as well as its scale and magnitude, millions of people each year now travel to the former camps, ghettos and other settings for the atrocities. 'The Holocaust Sites of Europe' offers the first comprehensive guide to these sites, including much practical information as well as the historical context. It will be an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to add another layer to their understanding of the Holocaust by visiting these important sites for themselves. This guide includes a survey of all the major Holocaust sites in Europe, from Belgium and Belarus to Serbia and Ukraine. It includes not only the notorious concentration and death camps, such as Auschwitz and Ravensbruck, but also less well known examples, such as Sered' in Slovakia, together with detailed descriptions of massacre sites, as well as the ghettos, 'Euthanasia' centres and Roma and Sinti sites which witnessed similar crimes. Throughout the book there is also extensive reference to the many museums and memorials which commemorate the Holocaust. 'The Holocaust Sites of Europe' is a thoughtful and fitting guide to some of the most traumatic sites in Europe and will be an invaluable companion for those who wish to honour the victims and to understand more about their fate.

This an excellent book for anyone who is interested in the Holocaust. Well detailed with first class maps. Not only does the author give you a clear history of the Holocaust as it affected each country, but he offers wonderfully useful information, such as opening times of Holocaust museums, charges and websites. Congratulations on such an amazing book.

Why has no one written this book before? A guide to Holocaust sites is such an obvious necessity for anyone with an interest in the Shoah that it is genuinely surprising that it has taken so long. Thankfully, this book does not disappoint. The descriptions of the sites are clear and detailed but what most impresses is the historical depth and geographical scale. I consider myself well-informed about the Holocaust but this book includes places I had previously never heard of like Poniatowa or Jajinci. It even explains the role of Warsaw Zoo in the Holocaust. The many maps by Martin Gilbert are typically excellent.
Format:Paperback
A really great book with a precise and trustable information. Mr Winstone is a wonderful narrator, both in the book and in class. He is, in fact, my history teacher.
