Jews, Nazis and the Holocaust: What You Need to Know

A thought-provoking, engaging guide to the Holocaust informed by Hyman's Wolanski's family's direct experience. Jews, Nazis and the Holocaust: What You Need to Know explains the Holocaust in its broadest sense. Hyman Wolanski delves into how antisemitism developed over the centuries and morphed from religious antisemitism, where the Jews were held responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, to Nazi antisemitism, where it was deemed necessary to murder all the Jews. The second section, Nazis, is the remarkable story of how Hitler developed from a nondescript Austrian corporal in the German Army to become the almighty dictator of Germany. Lastly, Wolanski demonstrates how Hitler and his Nazi Party used the war that he had started to annihilate Europe’s Jews by brutal treatment, mass shootings and in gas chambers. He also looks at the Nuremberg Trials and the Displaced Persons Camps after the war.
