(4) YA Holocaust Remembered series. The title is misleading, as the emphasis of the book is actually on Germany's historical background and the social conditions that allowed Hitler to assume power. Almost a third of the volume traces the country's history from the eighteenth century through World War I, while the book's middle section chronicles Hitler's rise to dictator. The last chapter provides a rushed overview of World War II and the Holocaust. Black-and-white photos illustrate the text. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) YA Holocaust Remembered series. Looking at day-to-day life, resistance efforts, and individual acts of defiance and compliance in the Jewish ghettos, Altman focuses on the 1939-1944 period, when Jews were forcibly relocated into ghettos throughout Eastern Europe. Byers provides a context for Hitler's rise to power before discussing the conditions, atrocities, and ultimate use of the Nazi concentration camps. Both books, which contain archival photos, paint realistic pictures of these instruments of Hitler's final solution. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) YA Holocaust Remembered series. These books begin with general information about the economic and social origins of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Europe, followed by a more detailed look at specific topics, including resistance movements and the creation of the state of Israel. The books will be useful for report writing but should be supported with more in-depth books. Chronologies, black-and-white photographs, and maps are included. Bib., glos., ind.
