The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures recounts the anguishing story of the most terrible crime of the 20th century. During World War II, six million Jews--as well as other targeted groups including Poles, the handicapped, and homosexuals--were systematically murdered by Adolf Hitler''s Nazi Germany and its collaborators. Although the weight and heft of The Holocaust Chronicle cannot capture the immensity of its subject, the book''s 768 pages suggest that the Holocaust is a topic that must be openly confronted. Written and fact-checked by top scholars, the chronicle offers: A 3,000-item timeline pinpointing specific events that contributed to the Holocaust, such as Nazi Germany occupation during World War II, the sealing of urban ghettos in Europe, and the deportation of millions of Jews to death camps. Nearly 2,000 photographs chronicling the Holocaust in starkly visual terms, including images of the massacre of more than 33,000 Ukrainian Jews at Babi Yar and pictures from the liberation of Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Fourteen chapter-opening essays that put the most important years of the Holocaust and its immediate aftermath into perspective, beginning with Hitler''s rise to power and ending with the convictions of such Nazi officials as Hermann Göring at the Nuremberg Trial. More than 250 sidebars detailing the significant places, issues, events, and people of the Holocaust, including Anne Frank and Heinrich Himmler. An extensive prologue and epilogue that discuss the buildup to and aftermath of the Holocaust. * This is an alternate cover of Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures (ISBN-13: 9781680228328), content is the same. *

Covers Luther''s impact on education from the Reformation to the present day.

Der 13-jährige Leon kam auf Schindlers Liste und überlebte so den Holocaust.

The darkest times can unleash the worst in human nature - and also the best. Leon Leyson lived trough those times. His remarkable memoir of hope and bravery is unlike anything you have ever read.

Um pequeno vilarejo, os irmãos, os amigos, as corridas nos campos, os banhos de rio: essa é a verdadeira história de Leon, a história de um mundo despedaçado pela invasão dos nazistas. Quando em 1939 o exército alemão ocupou a Polônia, Leon tinha apenas dez anos. Logo ele e sua família foram confinados no gueto de Cracóvia junto a milhões de outros judeus. Com um pouco de sorte e muita coragem, o menino conseguiu sobreviver ao inferno e foi contratado para trabalhar na fábrica de Oskar Schindler, o famoso empreendedor que conseguiu salvar mais de mil e duzentos judeus dos campos de concentração. Neste testemunho que ficou por tanto tempo inédito, Leon Leyson nos conta sua extraordinária história, na qual, graças à força de um menino, o impossível se tornou possível. O menino da lista de Schindler é um legado de esperança e um chamado para que todos nós nos recordemos daqueles que não tiveram a chance do amanhã. O livro foi selecionado para os Acervos Básicos da FNLIJ, versões 2014 e 2015.
