Additional Information

The murder of six million Jewish men, women and children during the Second World War was a crime of unprecedented and unparalleled bestiality. Since the end of the war evidence of the savage cruelty of the murderers has emerged in every country in Europe, and from each one of the many thousand destroyed communities. Jews were sought out, hunted down, tortured, deported and murdered. The aim of the killers was that not a single Jew should survive. But some did survive, and many documents also survived: the often copious records of the murderers themselves, and the diaries and notes of thousands of those who were about to be killed, but who managed to set down as best they could an account of events which they saw around them.

This comprehensive history of the Holocaust from the rise of Hitler to power in 1933 to the defeat of Germany in 1945 is based on German and Jewish documentation, including material collected for the Nuremberg, Eichmann and other war crimes trials, with further personal testimony of eyewitnesses and survivors, and interviews conducted by Sir Martin.
