I was in Washington DC on business, and one Saturday afternoon when I walking my brains out as I'm want to do when alone and in an amenable city. I left the Air and Space Museum on my way to the Secret Service building because I wanted to see money being made, and decided instead to just keep walking down the street. Subconsciously I knew EXACTLY where I was going - to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. As a student of European History, military conflicts, and having been a resident of Germany...more

Michael Berenbaum’s book The World Must Know examines the atrocities of the Holocaust, as told in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In his study, he examines the development of the Holocaust, the spread of Hitler’s influence, the roots of anti-Semitism, the horrors of ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps, the actions of nations and peoples indirectly affected by the Holocaust, and the overall aftermath of the Holocaust.

Many of these photos also appear in "The Holocaust Chronicles." If you don't want to read the latter book because it is so large and comprehensive, you can still get a decent understanding of the Holocaust through this book.
I read the whole thing after visiting the Holocaust museum.
What can I say? It's just tragic that people can do such horrible things to each other.

A decent high school or younger age basic holocaust reader.
A great overall history of the Holocaust focusing on different aspects of the Holocaust such as ghettos, concentration camps and resistance. It features photographs and documents related to the Holocaust as well. I highly recommend this book.
I tough book to read with very graphic pictures and desciptions. I had to push myself to continue reading. This book is organized well. It was worth the read but not for the faint of heart.
I strongly recommend all of Michael Berenbaum's books. They are highly informative, brilliantly written, and help to teach the world about Shoah. After all, (to quote him)the world must know.
If you like depressing photos and history, here's a book for you1
Thank-you, God, that we have hope not in humanity which will fail us and destroy us every time, but we have hope in You.
You'll be haunted with images after reading this devastating book.
