This read­er in the his­to­ry of the Holo­caust is divid­ed into six rough­ly chrono­log­i­cal sec­tions that include both pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary sources. The mix­ture of sources is appro­pri­ate for this type of read­er, which is meant main­ly for col­lege under­grad­u­ates. The pri­ma­ry sources, which have been pre­vi­ous­ly pub­lished, reflect some of the most impor­tant and mean­ing­ful doc­u­ments from the peri­od— orig­i­nat­ing with the Nazi per­pe­tra­tors and their Jew­ish vic­tims. How­ev­er, the book has nei­ther a bib­li­og­ra­phy nor an index. Also miss­ing from this read­er are dis­cus­sions of some of the key issues in Holo­caust his­to­ri­og­ra­phy, such as Jew­ish resis­tance, bystanders, res­cue, and jus­tice, to name only a few obvi­ous ones. Still, as an intro­duc­to­ry guide, this book fills an impor­tant niche and belongs in every Holo­caust library.
