Présentation de l'éditeur :

For undergraduate courses in The History of the Holocaust and Hitler and Nazi Germany.

Told with scrupulous care for accuracy, this text examines the causes and events of the Holocaust, giving important background information on Jewish life in Europe, on the functions of the hierarchy within the Nazi government, and the psychological foundations of prejudice. The author tells this story from a unique point-of-view, in that she experienced Nazi Germany as a child. This book attempts to explain the sequence of events that led up to what we now refer to as the Holocaust or Shoah. The new edition features contemporary research of Hitler, an updated bibliography, a new epilogue and a new postscript.
