A unique book that records the Nazi attempt to destroy the Jews of Europe during World War II. The author hand drew 316 maps for this atlas. Each map traces each phase, country-by-country, of Hitler's attempt to erase the Jews. Describes the anti-Semitic violence of prewar Germany, the conquest of territory in which Jews had lived for centuries, the random killings, the establishment of ghettos, the deliberate starvation of tens of thousands, the deportations, the creation of the death camps, the slave-labor system, the death marches, and the executions---up to the very moment of liberation. Arranged in chronological order, the maps bear witness to the tragedy of the Jewish Holocaust as it unfolds week-by-week. This book also details the deaths of others the Nazis killed---Gypsies, Russian POW's, Spanish republicans, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals. The maps also set the Holocaust in the context of the war itself as the Nazi armies advanced throughout Europe.
