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. 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. 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. 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.

The subject matter and the raw, academic approach means it gets the 5 star.
The book at points was very repetitive and felt slight disorganized in how parts of it were laid out.
There was lots of information presented that I wasn’t familiar with. This tome also features intense photographic evidence of the events of the holocaust in mostly chronological order.
I am stating the obvious when I say this book is horrifyingly sad and hard to get through due to the nature of the subject. I think for education purpose this would be a really great addition for teachers to use
