Böcker av Deborah Dwork

Unrivaled in reach and scope, Holocaust illuminates the long march of events, from the Middle Ages to the modern era, which led to this great atrocity. It is a story of all Europe, of Nazis and their allies, the experience of wartime occupation, the suffering and strategies of marked victims, the failure of international rescue, and the success of individual rescuers. It alone in Holocaust literature negotiates the chasm between the two histories, that of the perpetrators and of the victims and their families, shining new light on German actions and Jewish reactions.No other book in any language has so embraced this multifaceted story. Holocaust uniquely makes use of oral histories recorded by the authors over fifteen years across Europe and the United States, as well as never-before-analyzed archival documents, letters, and diaries; it contains in addition seventy-five illustrations and sixteen original maps, each accompanied by an extended caption. This book is an original analysis of a defining event.

Presents a document from the last months of the Holocaust. This book tells the story of the Terezin camp and how the author and her family fared while imprisoned there.

A bold, groundbreaking work that provides the definitive answer to the persistent question: Why didn't more Jews flee Nazi Europe?

Based on hundreds of oral histories conducted in Europe and North America with survivors who were children in the Holocaust, plus primary documentation such as diaries and letters, Dwork reveals the feelings, daily activities and perceptions of Jewish children who lived and died at this time.
