What was the Holocaust? -- Anti-Semitism -- Adolf Hitler -- The Nazis -- Hitler in power -- War! -- In the Ghetto -- Life in the Concentration Camps -- The Final Solution -- Fighting back -- Freedom! After -- Timelines. "A thoughtful and age-appropriate introduction to an unimaginable event--the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide on a scale never before seen, with as many as twelve million people killed in Nazi death camps--six million of them Jews. Gail Herman traces the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, whose rabid anti-Semitism led first to humiliating anti-Jewish laws, then to ghettos all over Eastern Europe, and ultimately to the Final Solution. She presents just enough information for an elementary-school audience in a readable, well-researched book that covers one of the most horrible events in history. Includes a letter from the editor and series creator, Jane O'Connor."-- Provided by publisher. 20220114. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Juvenile literature.
