Requests:  0 Summary:  "Despite the outpouring of books, movies, museums, memorials, and courses devoted to the Holocaust, a coherent explanation of why such ghastly carnage erupted from the heart of civilized Europe in the twentieth century still seems elusive even seventy years later. Numerous theories have sprouted in an attempt to console ourselves and to point the blame in emotionally satisfying directions--yet none of them are fully convincing. As witnesses to the Holocaust near the ends of their lives, it becomes that much more important to unravel what happened and to educate a new generation about the horrors inflicted by the Nazi regime on Jews and non-Jews alike. Why? dispels many misconceptions and answers some of the most basic--yet vexing--questions that remain: why the Jews and not another ethnic group? Why the Germans? Why such a swift and sweeping extermination? Why didn't more Jews fight back more often? Why didn't they receive more help? While responding to the questions he has been most frequently asked by students over the decades, world-renowned Holocaust historian and professor Peter Hayes brings a wealth of scholarly research and experience to bear on conventional, popular views of the history, challenging some of the most prominent recent interpretations. He argues that there is no single theory that "explains" the Holocaust; the convergence of multiple forces at a particular moment in time led to catastrophe."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53181 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Hayes Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Hayes Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53181 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
