Title

The Holocaust Chronicle

Description

The Holocaust, one of the most significant events of the 20th century, can now be studied on that defining technology of the 21st, the Internet. The Holocaust Chronicle Web site you are visiting now contains every word and a generous selection of images from the companion book of the same title, a massive, not-for-profit volume conceived and published by Chicago-based Publications International, Ltd., one of America's most prolific book publishers. Information that you will find in the book and on this Web site has been gathered and fact-checked by top Holocaust scholars.

Stretching from 1933 to 1945, the Holocaust was Nazi Germany's state-sanctioned persecution of Europe's nine million Jews and other minorities. It began with restrictive laws that were passed when Adolf Hitler took power, and eventually encouraged a level of antisemitic hatred sufficient to result in the deaths of at least six million Jewish men, women, and children, as well as many thousands of other targeted groups: Gypsies, Freemasons, artists and intellectuals, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, prisoners of war, and Communists and other political opponents. The Nazis' horrifying complex of concentration camps that stretched across Europe and even into North Africa found its ultimate expression in six death camps built by the Germans in Poland for the express purpose of exterminating as many Jews as quickly as technology and hate allowed.

Whether you browse this Web site, page through it, or search for specific, cross-referenced information, you'll find dramatic information grounded in rock-solid scholarship, complemented by a wealth of images; generous, fact-filled captions; hundreds of sidebar essays focusing on significant people, events, and issues; dozens of useful maps; and an exclusive timeline of Holocaust-related events spanning the years 1000 B.C. through 1999.
