Reviews
Gr 8 Up--This overview describes the Holocaust, the events that led up to it, and how the Nazis attempted to eradicate an entire people while fighting a war on two fronts. Sidebars provide information on related individuals, events, and policies. Black-and-white photographs help clarify the text. Each volume has the same time line; annotated list of sources for further reading, organized by topic; and cumulative index of names, places, subjects, and terms. Both books also have a table of "Jewish Victims of the Holocaust by Country of Origin." While this is of value, a table including the number of Jews in the country immediately before the war and their percentage to the total population would provide a truer picture. For instance, although 105,000 Jews died in the Netherlands and 3,000,000 perished in Poland, the figures represent 85% of the pre-war population in both countries. This set is for more sophisticated readers than the Holocaust series published by Grolier, Blackbirch, and Enslow. Jack R. Fischel's The Holocaust (Greenwood, 1998) is a fine single-volume compendium.
