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.

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.
