2008 SYDNEY TAYLOR HONOR AWARD FOR OLDER READERS

Produced in association with Shoah Visual History Foundation, this sobering and visually compelling work of history explains the complex political and social backdrop that allowed the Holocaust to occur and its continued impact on global history. This comprehensive volume presents a chronicle beginning with Jewish exile from Jerusalem in 70 CE after Roman occupation and ending with modern-day Holocaust denial and the creation of memorials around the world. Includes datelines, maps and charts, and a 40-minute DVD containing first hand searing testimony from survivors. A must-have for home, temple and community libraries.
