Each of the book's five distinct parts stands on its own as valuable research aids; together, they constitute an integrated whole. Part I provides a narrative overview of the Holocaust, placing it within the larger context of Nazi Germany and World War II. Part II examines eight critical issues or controversies in the study of the Holocaust, including the following questions: Were the Jews the sole targets of Nazi genocide, or must other groups, such as homosexuals, the handicapped, Gypsies, and political dissenters, also be included? What are the historical roots of the Holocaust? How and why did the "Final Solution" come about? Why did bystanders extend or withhold aid? Part III consists of a concise chronology of major events and developments that took place surrounding the Holocaust, including the armistice ending World War I, the opening of the first major concentration camp at Dachau, Germany's invasion of Poland, the failed assassination attempt against Hitler, and the formation of Israel.Part IV contains short descriptive articles on more than two hundred key people, places, terms, and institutions central to a thorough understanding of the Holocaust. Entries include Adolf Eichmann, Anne Frank, the Warsaw Ghetto, Aryanization, the SS, Kristallnacht, and the Catholic Church. Part V presents an annotated guide to the best print, video, electronic, and institutional resources in English for further study.Armed with the tools contained in this volume, students or researchers investigating this vast and complicated topic will gain an informed understanding of one of the greatest tragedies in world history. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$vEncyclopedias 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$vBibliography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 676 $a940.53/18 700 $aNiewyk$b Donald L.$f1940-$01055028 702 $aNicosia$b Francis R.$f1944- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462300903321 996 $aThe Columbia guide to the Holocaust$92488092 997 $aUNINA
