During the Second World War, Adolf Hitler's Nazis and their collaborators brutally and systematically murdered more than six million Jews, as well as other targeted groups such as Gypsies, homosexuals and the handicapped. The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures is a startling archive, written and fact checked by top scholars, recounting the complex and anguishing horrors of the Holocaust. With a 3,000 item timeline that pinpoints the specific atrocities in individual acts of cruelty, compassion and, at times, heroism, this book recounts the most important years of the Holocaust and its immediate aftermath. More than 2,000 photographs bear a vivid and horrific witness to portraits of perpetrators and victims, documenting one of the worst cases of mass genocide in the history of the world.

The Holocaust Chronicle, written and fact-checked by top scholars, recounts the long, complex, anguishing story of the most terrible crime of the 20th century.
