The abundance of existing information about the Holocaust emphasizes the vitality of the Holocaust lexicon as a necessary tool for anyone interested in its history. The hundreds of entries surround the places, figures, events and concepts that together create the detailed picture and face of the Holocaust. Attached to them are excerpts of sources, photos, maps, chronology and recommendations for further reference. Both basic terms and key processes are clearly described, making the Holocaust Lexicon a book that will enrich the knowledge of anyone who holds the history of the Jewish people close to their heart.
