"Michael Berenbaum's book The World Must Know examines the atrocities of the Holocaust, as told in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In his study, he examines the development of the Holocaust, the spread of Hitler's influence, the roots of anti-Semitism, the horrors of ghettos, concentration camps, and death camps, the actions of nations and peoples indirectly affected by the Holocaust, and the overall aftermath of the Holocaust.
Berenbaum's book is a good introduction to the Holocaust because he gives his reader a general idea of the Holocaust's events and developments while highlighting specific details to cast into sharp relief the horrific cruelty and inhumanity of the events. He presents statistics and personal accounts. He discusses the general development of the Final Solution and looks at its unique development in different countries. Upon finishing this history, readers will feel confident in their knowledge of the Holocaust and unconfident in their understanding of humanity.
My one complaint with Berenbaum's history is that parts of it tend to be generalized. I was particularly irked by his obviously uninformed statement that "Unlike earlier generations of immigrants who came in search of the American dream, the survivors' experience of America was bittersweet." I mean, what is that? But, for the most part, Berenbaum's generalizations don't seem to interfere with the important elements of his account.
The Holocaust is noted by many as one of the most devastating events in world history, and especially the twentieth century. The World Must Know seeks to impress upon the world the horror that was the Holocaust, and has the potential to do so successfully."
