Description
Author Biography
Table of Contents
Google Preview: In examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, third edition discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Roma, homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the disabled, and other groups deemed undesirable. In clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocide-purification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living space-and discusses how these goals affected the course of World War II. Including firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, her book is immediate, human, and eminently readable.; Doris L. Bergen is the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto. She has been researching and teaching the Holocaust for over twenty-five years and is a member of the academic committee of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.; Table of Contents Acknowledgments List of Illustrations and Photo Credits List of Maps Introduction Holocaust, War, and Genocide Themes and Problems 1 Dry Timber Preconditions 2 Leadership and Will Hitler, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and Nazi Ideology 3 From Revolution to Routine Nazi Germany, 1933-1938 4 Open Aggression In Search of War, 1938-1939 5 Brutal Innovations War against Poland and Ghettoization of Jews, 1939-1940 6 Escalation and Expansion The Program to Kill People with Disabilities and the War in the West, 1939-1940 7 The War of Annihilation, 1941-1943 8 Flashover: The Peak Years of Killing Jews, 1942-1943 9 Death Throes and Killing Frenzies, 1944-1945 Conclusion: Legacies of Atrocity Index About the Author; Google Preview content
