: A Tale of Two Survivors
Forced to work in a Hungarian slave labour battalion under the command of
Hitler's Third Reich, Steve Floris managed to survive thanks to his skills
as a cook and the decency of his commanding officer. After escaping and
returning to Budapest, he married his sweetheart, who had also survived the
Holocaust. Together they escaped Soviet occupied Hungary and went to
Austria. They worked in UN refugee camps, then made their way to Salzburg
and were accepted for immigration to Canada. |

Fateful Months :
Essays on the Emergence of the Final Solution: Revised Edition
An important concern in understanding the "machinery" of the Holocaust is
the timing of the decision to put into effect the Final Solution, the
systematic murder of the European Jews. This book explores the crucial first
steps in implementing the mass murder, including Hitler's role in the
decision-making process. The participation of middle and lower middle
echelon Germans, and the development of the technology of destruction, in
particular, the gas van for use in the death camps. Looking at events from
summer 1941 to Spring 1942, Christopher Browning sheds important new light
on the historians' debate about how the policy of systematic mass murder
emerged.

Policy and the Murder of the Male Jews in Serbia; The Development and
Production of the Nazi Gas Van; The Semlin Gas Van and the Final Solution in

Final Journey - Holocaust
: The Fate of the Jews in Nazi Europe
Filled with eye-witness accounts and contemporary evidence regarding the
Nazis plan to send millions of Jews to the death camps. Wherever possible,
author Martin Gilbert has given precise dates of every document quoted, and
has cited the actual words used at the time. Since the Nazi attempt to
murder the Jews of Europe concerned individual people -- people with names,
families, careers, and futures, for millions of whom no one survived to
mourn, or even remember -- Gilbert has tried to tell the stories of
individuals, as well as of communities. We learn how these journeys were
organised, where they went, the fate of those who were on them., and that no
two journeys or experiences were the same. Through a series of these
journeys, "Final Journey: Holocaust" brings into sharp focus
what the victims actually went through. Maps, routes, ranges, and
photographs relate to the many stories told. Spanning the whole spectrum of
deportations and experiences during the Holocaust years, this is a
cautionary tale for what can happen when tyranny takes command, and when the
secrecy that is inevitable in war enables an evil regime to seek the
destruction of a whole people. |

German Public & the Persecution of the Jews,
1933-1945 : 'No One Participated, No One Knew'
Wollenberg examines the painful question of the extent to which the German
public was aware of Nazi persecution of the Jews. By weaving together
eyewitness reports of Reichskristallnacht, this 'night of arson, terror, and
destruction' of November 9, 1938, with interpretative essays by contemporary
scholars, he constructs an eerie insider look at a gruesome event. Written
in stark, almost conversational tones, the eyewitness testimony of Jews,
half-Jews and non-Jews is both moving and horrifying. The first-person
narratives of the non-Jews document how impossible it was not to know what
was happening on Reichskristallnacht and how painful it is years later to
deal with repression and denial. The victims whose accounts are included
here struggle with the subjectivity of their childhood memories, filling
gaps with adult verification and continuing to agonise about distrust of
their record. The text is arranged in two parts: first the eyewitness
accounts from Nuremberg of the events of November 1938; then a section
containing analyses of policies, behaviour, and events as they were directed
at the Jews during the Third Reich. |

Hitler's Gift : The
Story of Theresienstadt
Adolf Hitler had a way with deception to the point of fooling even
representatives of the Red Cross. He corralled the Jewish intelligentsia
from all over Europe and gathered them in Theresienstadt where he had them
write and perform plays, compose music and offer it in extraordinary
concerts, and even paint and exhibit their art in their own galleries -- in
front of bedazzled inspectors who never checked the railway carriages parked
behind the camp. |

Holocaust & the Crisis of Human Behaviour
This book offers a provocative interpretation of the major historical and
psychological factors contributing to the Holocaust and its long range
implications. The authors provide insights into the behaviour of
perpetrators, victims, bystanders and active resisters, exploring the unique
German context of the Holocaust and the myths of victim passivity and SS
psychopathology. But their enquiry probes beyond actions and behaviour to
confront the meaning of the event and the limited ability of prior forms of
knowledge, values, and conceptual theories to interpret it. |

Holocaust Conspiracy :
An International
Policy of Genocide
Careful review of the Holocaust material published so far still leaves
scholars and the public wondering: How could this tragedy ever have
happened?; How was such a world-wide collapse of values possible?; Why was
the Holocaust so terribly successful? These crucial questions are finally
answered in 'The Holocaust Conspiracy'. By combining existing
research with previously unknown findings, Dr Perl draws the inescapable
conclusion that it was not apathetic inaction of the world’s powers that
made the Holocaust and the Final Solution so tragically ineffective. Using
extensive documentation, he convincingly proves it was deliberate action on
the part of many nations that kept millions prisoner in a hostile Europe.
These deliberate actions are conclusively shown to be the result of
conspiracies within individual governments and between governments. Here,
also, a comprehensive analysis of the Holocaust policies of powers that
until now have received relatively little attention or blame: Switzerland,
The Soviet Union, Latin America, and the International Red Cross. “The
Holocaust Conspiracy” sheds shocking new light on the plots and
discreet actions of world powers to effectively support the Nazi genocide
programs. You will alter your perceptions of many nations after reading this
work. |

Holocaust Voices : An Attitudinal Survey
of Survivors
Political scientist Alexander Groth, himself a Holocaust survivor and a
former inhabitant of the Warsaw Ghetto, has collected 240 systematic
interviews, which go far beyond the usual first-person accounts of private
sufferings. The author questioned survivors about their anticipations and
awareness of the Final Solution; their impression of those Germans who were
active in it; and their views of fellow Jews, non-Jewish neighbours, Western
Allies, the pope, and sundry political and social entities active and
important during the period. The objective of this study is to arrive at a
general understanding of this historic tragedy from the point of view of
those who lived through it and have had the opportunity of a lifetime of
mature reflection. The trove of information in this volume will be
especially valuable to Holocaust scholars and leaves to posterity the
significant voices of the survivors. |
