SynopsisCovering Western and Eastern Europe, this book looks at the Holocaust on the local level. It compares and contrasts the behaviour and attitude of neighbours in the face of the Holocaust. Topics covered include deportation programmes, relations between Jews and Gentiles, violence against Jews, perceptions of Jewish persecution, and reports of the Holocaust in the Jewish and non-Jewish press., Through a series of regional case studies, this book presents the Holocaust not as a single monolithic or one-dimensional event, but as a complex process with many human actors and local contexts.
