The Holocaust - Origins, History and Aftermath c.1920-1945
Approximately 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. No one will ever know the exact figure. Of those, some six million were Jewish, including one million children. The remainder comprised numerous ethnic and social groups deemed the Untermenschen, the subhuman species that, according to the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and the ruling Nazis, were not fit to live.
When the implementation of the Final Solution - Reinhard Heydrich's plan to exterminate the remaining Jewish population in Nazi occupied Europe - began in 1942, it was but the height of a brutally executed, systematic plan to rid the world of these "unwanted" peoples. But how did the Holocaust begin? How did it develop? And who was responsible?
The Holocaust explores the background to this most barbaric of crimes and contains several reproductions of moving and important documents, including a child's drawing from the Warsaw Ghetto, the plans of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the Wannsee Protocol, the blueprint for the Holocaust itself.
There are 15 documents reproduced on the page, including:
Letter describing Kristallnacht and a diary extract about life in the ghetto
List of Jews to be transported, including place of departure and destination
Drawings by a child incarcerated at Theresienstadt concentration camp
Holokaust - vznik, dejiny a dôsledky: 1920 - 1945

Počas holokaustu bolo zavraždených približne 11 miliónov ľudí. Presné číslo sa nikdy nedozvieme, no asi 6 miliónov bolo Židov, z toho milión detí. Zvyšok tvorili početné etnické a sociálne skupiny, ktoré boli považované za Untermenschen, podradnú ľudskú rasu, ktorá podľa ríšskeho kancelára Adolfa Hitlera a vládnucej nacistickej strany nemala právo žiť.
Keď sa v roku 1942 začalo realizovať konečné riešenie, zámer Reinharda Heydricha na vyhladenie židovskej populácie v nacistami okupovanej Európe, systematický plán s cieľom zbaviť svet „neželaných“ ľudí uskutočňovaný s nevídanou brutalitou dosiahol svoj vrchol. Ako sa holokaust vlastne začal? Ako sa vyvíjal? A kto je zaň zodpovedný?
Kniha skúma pozadie jedného z najbarbarskejších zločinov v dejinách ľudstva. Prináša reprodukcie dôležitých a dojímavých dokumentov, medzi nimi kresby detí z varšavského geta, plán koncentračného tábora v Terezíne i protokol z Wannsee, považovaný za plán samotného holokaustu.

Holocuast
The Holocaust was the systematic murder of Europe's Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War. An understanding of the historical circumstances that fed the Holocaust remains the essential means of making sense of the inexplicable crimes that occurred. This commemorative volume describes Jewish life before the spread of Nazism in Europe and Nazi ideologies. The author discusses the mass murder, the death camps such as Auschwitz, the perpetrators, the witnesses, the escapees, the refugee havens and the 10,000 Kindertransport youngsters who were given safe haven in Britain. We are told stories of the resistance, acts of heroism, survivors and those who risked their lives to save the Jews. Finally, we learn about the liberation of the camps, the resettlement of the Jews and how the events are remembered now. The 15 removable documents included in this book have been carefully selected to take us beyond the horrifying statistics and remind us that each number was a person. They include: letter describing Kristallnacht and a diary extract about life in the ghetto; list of Jews to be transported, including place of departure and destination; and drawings by a child incarcerated at Theresienstadt concentration camp.
