The Holocaust, Laurence Rees, 2017.
Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday: “By far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, and also the best at explaining its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development”. Antony Beevor: “This landmark work answers two of the most fundamental questions in history - how and why did the Holocaust happen?”. |
The Complete Maus, Art Spiegelman, 1996.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe and his son, a cartoonist, coming to terms with his father’s story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form - the cartoon (the Nazis are cats/the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in “drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust” (New York Times). |

This summarises the subject of Neighbours, historian Jan Gross's account of a massacre that occurred in Jedwabne, in north-eastern Poland. Gross describes the atrocities of Jedwabne in unbearable detail. |

Hitler’s Willing Executioners – Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, Daniel Goldhagen, 1992.
This ground breaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about The Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of the Jews, that the killers were all SS men and that those who murdered Jews did so reluctantly. |
