The Holocaust has been the subject of countless books, works of art, and memorials. Fifty-five years after the fact the world still ponders the enormity of this disaster. The Holocaust Encyclopedia is the only comprehensive single-volume work of reference providing both a reflective overview of the subject and abundant detail concerning major events, policy decisions, cities, and individuals. Up-to-date and designed for easy access, the encyclopedia presents information on the major aspects of the Holocaust in essays by scholars from eleven countries who draw on a number of sources—including recently uncovered evidence from the former Soviet bloc—to provide in-depth studies on the political, social, religious, and moral issues of the Holocaust as well as short entries identifying events, sites, and individuals. The book also has more than 250 photographs, many of them rare, and 19 maps. The volume includes: • Raul Hilberg on concentration camps and Gypsies • Ruth Bondy, Israel Gutman, and Dina Porat on major ghettoes • Roger Greenspun on the Holocaust in cinema and television • Richard Breitman on American policy • Michael Berenbaum on theological and philosophical responses • Saul Friedländer on Nazi policy • Michael Hagemeister on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion • Michael R. Marrus on historiography • Christopher R. Browning on the Madagascar Plan • Robert S. Wistrich on Holocaust denial • James E. Young on Holocaust literature

This volume contains a collection of essays examining the Holocaust from the perspective of gender. The book is divided into seven sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the discourse between gender and identity. Following a historical introduction delineating the basic framework for understanding women's experiences during and shortly after the Holocaust, the book explores the major research trends evincing themselves since the end of World War II. The topics examined include various aspects of women's experiences during the war years, such as leadership, martyrdom, and social interaction in times of crisis. Other essays illuminate Holocaust heroism through a gender sensitive approach, while an additional section, Postwar Life and Representation, focuses upon gender in a multicultural post-Holocaust society. The book's final section explores the historical/didactic aspect of Holocaust gender study by examining how The Diary of Anne Frank can be used as an educational tool. Here we see how Holocaust gender issues transcend the socio-historical framework in order to become part of the cultural heritage transferred down to later generations. The book concludes with an epilogue and an extensive multi-lingual bibliography of sources and studies dealing with various gender-related aspects of the Holocaust. Several of the essays originally appeared in historical journals or conference proceedings and have been updated and expanded for inclusion in this present volume.
