Publisher's Synopsis
This encyclopedia contains 1,000 articles on virtually every aspect of the "final solution", from its ideological and political roots in the early Reich to the workings of the concentration camps. The articles provide summaries of knowledge about the towns, cities and countries affected by the Holocaust; the political, military and preliminary groups that enforced the policy of genocide; biographies of leading figures; the role of the United States, Britain, Canada and other nations; the fate of the gypsies, homosexuals and other "undesirables"; the ghettos of the Nazi empire; major events; and the individuals and groups that fought to resist the Nazi terror.
