The Holocaustthe attempt by the Nazi regime of Germany to remove and then exterminate the Jews of Europe between 1933 and 1945is arguably one of the most discussed topics of recent history. Writing about it is a massive assignment in view of the need for precision and, at the same time, comprehension. My hope is that in this short book I have been successful in managing to contextualize and explain the major contours of that terrible event.

The book is intended as a teaching tool as well as a volume to be read by a general audiencethough much, it must be said, makes for depressing reading given its subject matter. Yet in addition to the horrors being recounted, there are stories of inspiration here as well, as we read of those who stood up to the Nazis and worked to thwart their destructive aims.

In seeking to provide a comprehensive introduction to the multifaceted phenomenon that was the Holocaust, I have been accompanied by the questions posed by my many students, in several institutions and levels on two continents, over the past three decades. The chapters in this book are a mirror of their concerns, and, I hope, will resonate with readers today.

There are two people to whom I must proffer my humble gratitude for their assistance in putting this small volume together. Each read every word in draft form, and each made valuable suggestions which enhanced the whole project in many ways. Michael Dickerman, with whom I had worked earlier on a major Holocaust encyclopedia project, brought his extraordinary editorial skills to the task, showing me along the way that his talents are many, varied, and immensely valuable.

Eve E. Grimm, with whom I have also published on aspects of the Holocaust, kept my writing honest and insisted that this was a project to which I could bring new understandings despite my own reservations.

A further vote of thanks is due to my publisher at Routledge, Dr. Eve Setch, who has been an exceptional guide from the time this project was first suggested as a complement to my earlier Genocide: The Basics. I have been blessed in being able to work with such a consummate and highly skilled professional. I also want to thank her assistant, Zoe Thomson, with whom I have just started working.

Writing a book of this length, on such a massive topic, has presented one major problem, which must be addressed here by way of a disclaimer; given the relative sizes of both the volume and the subject, there were only a limited number of areas it could cover. I have often found myself frustrated at not being able to introduce (much less develop) certain themes which, I am sure, some will say should have been explored here. With that in mind, I will only say this: the book you have in your hand is an introduction only, and makes no pretense at being the last word. Accordingly, I urge anyone holding it to go out and extend its boundariesand do it now. Its never too late to make a better world.

When looking at the Holocaust it is always advisable, as survivor Elie Wiesel has told us, to begin with tales. As he wrote in an essay as long ago as 1976:
