New Holocaust Titles

"Every year around 27 January, UNESCO pays tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and reaffirms its unwavering commitment to counter antisemitism, racism, and other forms of intolerance that may lead to group-targeted violence. The date marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau by Soviet troops on 27 January 1945. It was officially proclaimed, in November 2005, International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust by the United Nations General Assembly."

As the day approaches you may be interested in doing some reading. So to get you started, here are a few new books on the Holocaust. One can find many more in LINKcat under the subject "Holocaust, Jewish 1939-1945" and other related subjects.
