There is not much I can say about THE HOLOCAUST ENCYCLOPEDIA. It is a massive collection of data and information on one of mans darkest times in history, covering so many known and little known facts and figures on this abomination foisted upon the world by Adolph Hitler, and his totally evil sociopathic SS hierarchy, and lower ranking members. One can learn a great deal about the operations of the death camps, the horrific reasons behind which made it even possible to occur.
I have visited the HOLOCAUST MUSEUM in Washington D.C. It left a deep lasting impression on me. And it is mentioned in detail in this book.

A nice addition to my history library. I have to say I have the other book featured with this one, The Holocaust Chronicles and I read it in it's entirety and it too is a excellent book. On a side not the book was packed very well. With it being such a heavy book I was afraid that it would have bent edges when I received it, but the way it was packed with so much TLC it arrived perfectly.

Walter Laqueur's Holocaust Encyclopedia is a must for any serious student of Holocaust Studies or for a classroom or school library bookshelf. For that matter, it should be found in a regular public library as well. Rich in information, filled with pertinent maps and photographs, the encyclopedia allows the student to research a particular issue, which has been extraordinarily well written. There is information about specific perpetrators, specific Concentration Camps, Death Camps, rescuers, rescue missions, persecuted groups and so much more. Richest though, is the information about specific countries. Countries involved in the Holocaust are dealt with in the most minute detail, allowing the reader or researcher to delve deep within the historiography of that country. Articles have been written by some of the greatest names in Holocaust research - Christopher Browning, Yehudah Bauer, Rael Hillberg, Martin Gilbert and so many more. The maps are clear and precise, giving details of the location of camps and ghettos and the photographs come from some of the finest archives in the world.
For any young person needing to do a research project, having a concise, well laid out encyclopedia, beautifully alphabetized with all the most necessary details they could possibly want, this book is an absolute godsend as it is for the teacher who needs a good reference guide with the most pertinent information about a single event, at their fingertips. This book is an invaluable resource and I highly recommend it to all teachers and scholars.
