This book examines the causes and events of the Holocaust. It covers specific issues-offering no philosophical conclusions-that have given rise to conflicting points of view, and presents holocaust victims in human terms rather than reducing them to a statistical analysis. This book also explores the the generally accepted psychological basis for the destructive careers of several leaders of the Nazi movement. An epilogue provides information on what happened to the survivors, what became of the Nazi war criminals, and what happened to Germany after the Allied invasion. The Nature of Prejudice and Historic Roots of Anti-Semitism. The Nazi Rise to Power. Hitler and His Instruments. Germany Under the Nazis. German Jewish Life to 1939. The Genocide. Resistance and Rescue. For anyone interested in holocaust history.

From the Back Cover:
A History of the Holocaust, Second Edition is more than just a recounting of the horrors of the Holocaust. It is an attempt to explain the forces that gave rise to it, the motives of those who conceived it, and the culture that was destroyed by it. This book will motivate readers to ask disturbing questions and, hopefully, seek answers to them.

Rita S. Botwinick provides the reader with background on the nature of prejudice, the history of anti-Semitism, as well as information about German and Jewish life during this time period. She discusses the Nazi rise to power and the effects of propaganda in fostering the attitudes that allowed hatred and fear to overcome reason and charity. The author also devotes an entire chapter to those people who resisted the Nazi regime.

This updated edition includes:

  • A new epilogue section
  • Information about what happened to the concentration camp survivors
  • Discussion about what happened to the Nazi criminals
  • An extensive bibliography that introduces other definitive works on the Holocaust
  • About the Author:
    Rita Steinhardt Botwinick Ph.D., Florida Atlantic University
