These 213 documents on the theory, planning, and execution of, and reaction and resistance to, the Nazi plan to exterminate European Jews date from the 1920s through the closing days of World War II and focus on the experience of eastern Europe.

The crystallization of the principles of Nazi anti-Semitism, the policies of the Third Reich toward the Jews, the period of segregation and enclosed ghettos, and the stages through which the ‘final solution’ were implemented are some of the topics covered. Other documents shed light on Jewish public activities and the organization of the Underground and Jewish self-defense. Many of the documents of Jewish origin were not published previously. This comprehensive collection is essential for understanding the history of the Holocaust.

Review

" ... Documents on the Holocaust remains essential to students and scholars for making easily accessible the lion's share of significant evidence concerning the Nazi annihilation of European Jewry." --seer, 79, 3, 2001

From the Back Cover

The crystallization of the principles of Nazi anti-Semitism, the policies of the Third Reich toward the Jews, the period of segregation and enclosed ghettos, and the stages through which the 'final solution' were implemented are some of the topics covered. Other documents shed light on Jewish public activities and the organization of the Underground and Jewish self-defense. Many of the documents of Jewish origin were not published previously. This comprehensive collection is essential for understanding the history of the Holocaust.

Yitzhak Arad has written numerous books, including The Pictorial History of the Holocaust. Israel Gutman is a coeditor of Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp. Abraham Margaliot taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Introducer Steven T. Katz is a professor of religion and the director of the Center for Judaic Studies at Boston University.

Useful primary source material concerning the Holocaust in Germany, Austria, Poland, and the USSR.

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018

This book was needed for a college Holocaust course. Simply put, the put contains primary sources about the Holocaust concerning Germany, Austria, Poland, and the USSR. Samples include Nazi government orders & reports; reports by Nazi officials from the field; reports & articles from Jewish support organizations; reports and announcements from Jewish resistance groups; reports and diary entries from Jewish people living within the ghettos. This is a good supplementary book to accompany other books about the Holocaust. It might not be too interesting as a stand-alone book.

This was one of several books used in a History of the Holocaust college course I recently took. I thought it was a great supplement to the main reading. Filled with original documents, journal entries and memos written throughout Hitlers reign, even a couple letters written by Hitler himself (he did not put much in writing...). This book really helped round out the reading for my course.

Review

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2008

An interesting book. The first section describes the gradual tightening of legal restrictions on the Jewish people of Germany. Each decree gradually stripping another layer of civil protection by defining them as second class citizens. The final legal step was to define what a Jew was, and how they no longer qualified even as a second class citizen.

The second part of the book tells the story of the same process in Poland. Each step was carefully calculated as part of the final solution of the "Jewish problem." Interesting is Heydrichs order in 1939 where it is obvious that extermination was the final goal. Also interesting, at least for me, was how clearly Hitler considered Jews and Communists one and the same. Rather, you could be a communist without being a Jew, but all communists took orders from the international Jewish conspiracy.

The final section describes the events in the Soviet Union where the Holocaust operated without any restraints. This book is about the destruction of the Jewish population so you will not find any reference to the deaths of millions of Poles, Ukranians, etc.

An interesting book. If you have minimal knowledge of the Holocaust this would give the reader a starting point. Please remember this not going to read like a novel although in its own way it is a narrative. A narrative of the destruction of the Jewish people.
