Studying the Holocaust: Issues, Readings and Documents

Description

This cross-disciplinary study of the Holocaust has been designed to provide a reference source. It includes: an historical overview and of the Holocaust and the years immediately preceding it; key historical documents, each with a brief introduction; an examination of the nature and extent of the crime of genocide in the modern age; and suggested questions, thematically arranged, together with related bibliographies.

"The book is an excellent addition to teaching resources on the Holocaust....By placing the Holocaust in its twin contexts--as a culmination of the history of antisemitism and as a case study of modern genocide--Landau has done educators, students, and scholars a great service. This book is highly recommended and is appropriate for high school and introductory college courses on the Holocaust, Jewish education, and Jewish history."
