Full Description
Warning and Hope is unique in many ways. It is a well of information about the Nazi persecution of the Jews and other minorities, the global consequences of these acts of terror and the mentality of the perpetrators as well as the victims, and the hypocrisy of the passive bystanders. As a concise and comprehensive text, its straightforward narrative will appeal to the casual reader and the serious Shoah student alike, for it responds to the most frequently asked questions. This book not only describes the horrific historic events of the Holocaust, but also penetrates to the heart of the matter with an emphasis on the detection of the early signposts heralding similar events.
