false 419940 1 In examining one of the defining events of the 20th century, Doris Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Gypsies, Homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the Handicapped, and other groups deemed undesirable. With clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi 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 first hand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, the book is immediate, human, and eminently readable. 409080 1 2 2003 War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust (Critical Issues in History) total:57|5:12|4:26|3:18|2:1|1:0| 57 220 86 11 4 1 false false Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 18:22:52 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 21:24:47 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 08:14:24 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 15:10:24 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 08:14:24 -0700 2009
