title: The Nazi Holocaust
author:  Ronnie S. Landau 
description: Landau (humanities, City Literary Inst., London) has undertaken a massive project in writing this work. He summarizes Jewish history from 300 B.C.E. to the Holocaust, leading the reader to the horrific consequences of the Nazi decimation of the European Jewish community. The statistics of Hitler's "final solution" are staggering but do not tell the whole story. We learn how Hitler's foreign policy was driven by his racial views and about the process that led from the dehumanization to the annihilation of the Jews. A concluding chapter assesses the aftermath of the Holocaust along with the lessons it has for us today. An extensive bibliography and appendixes add to the value of Landau's work. There will be a great deal of interest in the Holocaust as the world observes the 50th anniversary of D-Day. This would be an excellent choice for both high school and public libraries.<br /><i>Dorothy Lilly, Grosse Pointe North H.S.
