About this title: In examining one of the defining events of the 20th century, Doris Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts.

"If you want to learn more about the Holocaust but don't have the time or energy to really delve in, this is the perfect surface read. It's amazingly concise and yet comprehensive, not to mention well written.
Bergen makes the experiences of the Holocaust as personal as possible given the time and space constraints of her book. She seeks to answer the whys and hows behind the whats. Her facts are black and white but the emotional response and judgment she brings (and encourages in the reader) are gray."
"I had to read this for a class. All in all it was a good introduction to the Holocaust. The writer definitely has an agenda. Blame it on Nazi ideology; also raise the question of why did so many people acquiesce; include information about targeted groups that were not Jewish, such as JWs, Roma, and homosexuals. Fine, but unfortunately the concise nature of the book doesn't allow her to defend her positions very well. Therefore, I wonder whether the kind of concise history she is trying to create isn't an oxymoron."
