Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust

by Alan Farmer

This title provides a detailed account of the issues and events which led to the Holocaust, and discusses the historiographical interpretations surrounding that event. The book examines anti-Semitism in Europe before 1933, the nature of Hitler's rule in Germany and Nazi anti-Semitic policy from 1939 to 1941, as well as Nazi euthanasia policies during the same period. The volume concludes by exploring the horrendous developments from 1941 onwards and attempts to reach a balanced conclusion by determining who was responsible for the ultimate "Final Solution."

For anyone studying Anti-Semitism for AS History Unit 2 this helps to add to any previous knowledge

[Wilde Sky · Rating 4 out of 5]

An analysis of the holocaust – it perpetrators and victims (Jews, gypsies, etc.) are presented in this book.

I found this to be an interesting book full of information. As it was written for ‘AS / A level’ students it contained mainly high level facts looking at the broad picture and I felt it lost some of the human tragedy.
