THE HOLOCAUST SITES OF EUROPE - MARTIN WINSTONE...

The Holocaust - the murder of approximately six million Jewish men  women and children by Nazi
Germany and its collaborators in the Second World War - was a crime of unprecedented and
unparalleled proportions  perpetrated in innumerable locations across the European continent.
Now in its third edition  The Holocaust Sites of Europe is the most comprehensive and
accessible guide to these sites  serving as both a work of historical reference and a practical
resource for visitors to them today. It includes all major Holocaust sites in Europe  covering
more than 20 countries and encompassing not only iconic locations such as Auschwitz-Birkenau
and Bergen-Belsen  but also lesser known yet similarly significant sites like Maly Trostenets
and Sajmiste. It addresses extermination  forced labour and concentration camps  massacre sites
and cities which were homes to major Jewish populations and - often - ghettos  as well as Nazi
'euthanasia' centres and locations associated with the genocide of Roma and Sinti. In so doing
the book also covers the many museums and memorials which commemorate the Holocaust. This new
edition has been fully updated to reflect developments which have affected sites in the 2010s
and 2020s  ranging from the establishment of new museums to growing threats from climate change
and state-sponsored distortion of history. The Holocaust Sites of Europe is thus an
indispensable and sensitive guide to both the history and the modern reality of the most
traumatic sites in European history.
