Abzug, America Views The Holocaust, 1933-1945; Polt, Ed., A Thousand Kisses - A Grandmother's Holocaust Letters

Abstract

The contemporaries of the Holocaust are often divided into three categories: victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. While each category is problematic, this nonetheless is a useful approach for teachers working with students just beginning to study the Holocaust. Each category can be studied through primary sources, although, as Raul Hilberg has pointed out, each raises its own particular problems.
