''The Atlas of the Holocaust, the product of seven years' intensive research, is a unique record of the Nazi attempt to annihilate the Jews of Europe during the Second World War.Martin Gilbert has drawn each of the 316 maps especially for this atlas; all are fully annotated and are based on documentary evidence from an extremely wide range of sources. The Atlas traces each phase of the Holocaust, starting with the anti-Semitic violence of pre--war Germany, and leading to German conquest of countries in which the Jews had lived for centuries. Set out here in compelling detail is the spread of the early random killings, the systematic mass expulsions from thousands of towns and villages, the establishment of ghettos, the deliberate starvation of Jews trapped in these ghettos, the setting up of the death camps, the distant deportations to those camps, the slave-labour camp system, the death marches and the executions from the time of Germany's military domination to the very last days of the Allied liberation.'' -- from rear panel blurb.
