Relation Concering Books The Holocaust Chronicle

During the Second World War, six million Jews--as well as other targeted groups such as Gypsies, Poles, the handicapped, and homosexuals--were systematically murdered by Adolf Hitter's Nazis and their collaborators. The Holocaust Chronicle, written and fact-checked by top scholars, recounts the long, complex, anguishing story of the most terrible crime of the 20th century. A massive, oversized hardcover of more than 750 pages, The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures is an excitingly unique, not for-profit endeavor that is a personal project of the publisher, Louis Weber, C.E.O. of Chicago-based Publications International, Ltd. As a book publisher, I am in a unique position to create this ambitious project, Weber says. The son of Polish Jews who settled in America in the 1920s, Weber conceived The Holocaust Chronicle in order to give something back to the Jewish community, and to bring the truth of the Holocaust to as many people as possible. The mission of The Holocaust Chronicle is to report the facts, clearly and free of bias or agenda. Featured are more than 2000 photographs selected after intensive research in the collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, as well as other archives and private collections located around the world. Many of these images are in full color and most are published in book form for the first time. The photographs chronicle the Holocaust in starkly visual terms, capturing victims and perpetrators alike, as well as Allied leaders and the multitude of peripheral figures. Caption-text is detailed, and rich with facts and human interest. The books 3000-item timeline of Holocaust-related events is unprecedented in its scope and ambition. Spanning the years 1000 B.C. to 1999 A.D., the timeline pinpoints deportations, atrocities, and important developments in the Nazis Final Solution, as well as individual acts of cruelty, compassion, and heroic Jewish resistance. Illustrated chapter-opener essays place the most important years of the Holocaust and its immediate aftermath, 1933-1946, into sharp perspective. Nearly 300 sidebars detail significant people, places, issues, and events. More than 30 full-color, specially commissioned maps show the reader where events took place. The sentiments and hatreds that gave rise to the Holocaust were not confined to the 12 years of Adolf Hitter's Thousand-Year Reich. The books illustrated prologue surveys the antisemitism that was expressed over many centuries in Europe as bloody pogroms, exclusionary laws, and other persecution. The illustrated epilogue documents the long, painful healing process that has lasted for generations and may never be completed.

Notice Epithetical Books The Holocaust Chronicle
A moving remembrance of the world's shame, from the hero's and the innocents lost to those who do not deserve remembrance except in the hope that we never relive the mistakes of the past.

This is an exquisite collection of Holocaust-related photographs. The old saying about a picture being worth a thousand words definitely applies here; this book gave me more of a sense of the Holocaust than all the reading I've done on the subject. In addition there is an excellent timeline of the Holocaust events. Highly recommended.

This was my "Psychology of the Holocaust" textbook. It really made the Holocaust come alive for me, for better or for worse. There are a great deal of photos and documentation from pre-Hitler Germany through post-war Germany. Very educational.

This is a meticulous account of the Holocaust complete with essays, pictures, maps, and documents. The author's foreword is amazing, ending with this: "Rabbi Nachman, a great Hasidic master of paradox, once said that nothing is as whole as a heart that has been broken and mended. The Holocaust shatters. Our task is to mend."

This is a great book to have in any collection. It was heavily researched with many photographs and documents that bring every month and year of the holocaust to life for the read. It is sad and heartbreaking but it is part of the world's history and it must be studied, and remembered, that way the same thing will not happen again.

I was using this for research but I got so caught up in it I forgot to take notes most of the time. It's morbid and the pictures add to the ill feeling in your stomach while reading but it's an exceptionally well done book about an exceptionally horrible time.

An extremely large, informative textbook on the years leading up to, and during the holocaust. With a detailed timeline running right throughout the book and a huge array of photographs this book lets you delve deeper into the subject. After reading this book one wonders how can some people nowadays claim that the holocaust did not happen?! The sheer scale of it all, the atrocities committed and the courageous people who rescued and showed mercy on those who were targeted. It shows the events
