The Holocaust has been called the most terrible catastrophe in modern history. The Nazis systematically murdered at least six million Jews and six million non-Jews during their bloody rampage. THE HOLOCAUST: NEVER FORGET examines the history of European violence and hatred toward the Jews; the events that led to World War II and the Holocaust; measures that isolated Jews and paved the way for mass murder; the establishment of the concentration-camp system and the extermination camps; and other groups of Holocaust victims. The book also pays tribute to rescuers who risked their lives to save besieged Jews. Finally, THE HOLOCAUST: NEVER FORGET covers the liberation of the death camps, the efforts of survivors to rebuild their lives, lessons to be garnered from this horrifying tragedy, and the continuing heartbreak of hate crime and genocide in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
