How was it possible?: a Holocaust reader: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "How was it possible?: a Holocaust reader" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As the Holocaust passes out of living memory, future generations will no longer come face-to-face with Holocaust survivors. But the lessons of that terrible period in history are too important to let slip past. How Was It Possible?, edited and introduced by Peter Hayes, provides teachers and students with a comprehensive resource about the Nazi persecution of Jews. Deliberately resisting the reflexive urge to dismiss the topic as too horrible to be understood intellectually or emotionally, the anthology sets out to provide answers to questions that may otherwise defy comprehension.

This anthology is organized around key issues of the Holocaust, from the historical context for antisemitism to the impediments to escaping Nazi Germany, and from the logistics of the death camps and the carrying out of genocide to the subsequent struggles of the displaced survivors in the aftermath.

Prepared in cooperation with the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, this anthology includes...

Harvey Schulweis

During the Holocaust thousands of non-Jews refused to be passive in the face of the evil they witnessed, rescuing Jews, often at risk to their own lives and the lives of their families. The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous ( JFR ) provides monthly financial support to such aged and needy non-Jews and educates future generations about their extraordinary acts of courage.

In 1986 Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis created the Foundation to fulfill the traditional Jewish commitment to hakarat hatov, the searching out and recognition of goodness. To this end, the JFR is committed to assisting those Righteous Gentiles who are in need. We must thank and support these extraordinary individuals who were the lone lights in the darkness. These unassuming and dignified people acted without expecting reward, then or now. Yet they express deep gratitude for the Foundations support.

Rescuers serve as role models for us and for future generations. They teach us that, even in the midst of the worst evil in recorded history, each human being had the capacity to act humanely. Without their example, we are left only with the lessons of atrocity, hatred, and indifference to teach our children.

The JFR s national Holocaust teacher education program seeks to teach teachers the history of the Holocaust and, in this context, the significance of the Righteous as moral and ethical exemplars. As the Holocaust recedes in history, generations to come will never meet a Holocaust survivor or a Righteous Gentile, yet they must have an understanding of that terrible period. This Holocaust anthology, edited and introduced by Peter Hayes, provides such a resource.
