Bauer brings together all available documents, testimonies, and scholarship, including previously unpublished material from the Yad Vashem archives, pertaining to nine representative shtetls.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. 606 $aShtetls 606 $aJews$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zEurope, Eastern$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aJews$zEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aShtetls. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 676 $a305.892/404709041 700 $aBauer$b Yehuda$0241184 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792206303321 996 $aThe death of the shtetl$93825769 997 $aUNINA
