ABOUT THIS BOOK ???????????????????????????????????????? Published in 1968, Nora Levin's The Holocaust was one of the earliest and most comprehensive English-language historical treatments of the Nazi genocide ? predating many of the landmark works that followed in subsequent decades. At 768 pages, it remains a monumental work of Holocaust scholarship, covering the full systematic destruction of European Jewry from the rise of the Third Reich in 1933 through the end of WWII in 1945. Levin draws on Nuremberg trial documents, survivor testimony, and archival sources across all occupied territories to construct a panoramic account of the Holocaust ? from ghettos and deportations to the death camps and their liberation. The book includes two illustrated sections of black-and-white photographs documenting the camps, victims, perpetrators, and aftermath. The book is held by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum library and is widely cited in academic Holocaust studies. This first printing is increasingly scarce in any condition. ????????????????????????????????????????
