The Death of the Shtetl --Notes --Works Cited --IndexIn this book, Yehuda Bauer, an internationally acclaimed Holocaust historian, describes the destruction of small Jewish townships, the shtetls, in what was the eastern part of Poland by the Nazis in 1941-1942. Bauer brings together all available documents, testimonies, and scholarship, including previously unpublished material from the Yad Vashem archives, pertaining to nine representative shtetls. In line with his belief that "history is the story of real people in real situations," Bauer tells moving stories about what happened to individual Jews and their communities. Over a million people, approximately a quarter of all victims of the Holocaust, came from the shtetls. Bauer writes of the relations between Jews and non-Jews (including the actions of rescuers); he also describes attempts to create underground resistance groups, efforts to escape to the forests, and Jewish participation in the Soviet partisan movement. Bauer's book is a definitive examination of the demise of the shtetls, a topic of vast importance to the history of the Holocaust.ShtetlsJewsEurope, EasternHistory20th centuryJewsEurope, EasternSocial conditions20th centuryJewsEurope, EasternPolitics and government20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945JewsHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Europe, EasternEurope, EasternEthnic relationsHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Shtetls.JewsHistoryJewsSocial conditionsJewsPolitics and governmentWorld War, 1939-1945Jews.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)305.892/404709041Bauer Yehuda241184MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465252203321The death of the shtetl2492736UNINA
