Description
'Excellent ... an astounding amount of material.'
Times Educational Supplement
Popular culture often portrays the Holocaust as a
horrific drama played out between Nazi executioners and ghetto Jewish victims -
in short, a single aberration of history.
Introducing
the Holocaust is a powerful graphic guide that dissolves this
stereotype, explaining the causes and its relevance today. It places the
Holocaust where it belongs - at the centre of modern European and world
history.
Haim Bresheeth and Stuart Hood - along with Litza
Jansz's outstanding illustrations - bring a unique and unforgettable perspective
to how we think about this most dark of shadows on human history.
