The Holocaust

Introduction

This unit explores the Holocaust, as the destruction of European Jewry is commonly known. The mass killing represented by the Holocaust raises many questions concerning the development of European civilisation during the twentieth century. This unit, therefore, covers essential ground if you wish to understand this development.

This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course Total war and social change: Europe 1914-1955 (AA312). [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
