Both Part A and Part B front covers fore edge bumped. One volume of a monumental 8-volume encyclopedia in the making which will describe the universe of camps and ghettos (some 20,000 in all) that the Nazis and their allies operated, from Norway to North Africa and from France to Russia. For the first time, a single reference work will provide detailed information on each individual site. Volume II (Parts A and B): Ghettos in German-Occupied Eastern Europe. This volume provides a comprehensive account of how the Nazis conducted the Holocaust throughout the scattered towns and villages of Poland and the Soviet Union. It covers more than 1,150 sites, including both open and closed ghettos. Regional essays outline the patterns of ghettoization in 19 German administrative regions. Each entry discusses key events in the history of the ghetto; living and working conditions; activities of the Jewish Councils; Jewish responses to persecution; demographic changes; and details of the ghetto's liquidation. Personal testimonies help convey the character of each ghetto, while source citations provide a guide to additional information. Documentation of hundreds of smaller sites - previously unknown or overlooked in the historiography of the Holocaust - make this an indispensable reference work on the destroyed Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. Bindings lightly along bottom edges of covers. Interiors clean. Bindings in very good+, inteiors in near fine condition overall.
