Bauer brings together all available documents, testimonies, and scholarship, including previously unpublished material from the Yad Vashem archives, pertaining to nine representative shtetls. Over a million people, approximately a quarter of all victims of the Holocaust, came from the shtetls.
Bauer writes of the relations between Jews and non-Jews including the actions of rescuers ; he also describes attempts to create underground resistance groups, efforts to escape to the forests, and Jewish participation in the Soviet partisan movement. The Death of the Shtetl is an unusual study of a central aspect of the death of a Jewish nation in Eastern Europe, early annihilated, little documented and little known.
An intimate history of the Holocaust that casts new light on our understanding of victimhood and survival. Skip to main content. You are here Home » Books » Subjects » Holocaust. Holocaust Featured.

You can learn a lot about Jewish History by reading this book.
Full of information and facts. Dec 18, Deborah rated it it was amazing. This is a great book. It is a chronicle of the development of Jewish society in itself, interaction with Christian society, emancipation in Europe, effects of WWI leading up to WWII and the development and implementation of Nazi anti-semitic policies, and the aftermath of the holocaust.
This book covers a lot of territory, but in a very readable format. I read a library copy which obviously had been checked out many times before.

During my Senior year of college I took a religion class that covered the history of anti-semitism. I've read other Holocaust books; however, none have been as detailed and comprehensive as this text.
It was a Grey cold spring day in DC. Life was trying to sprout from the surrounding winter deadness but the bitter breeze and my experience in the museum seemed to almost will a somber winter day. Nov 14, Jessica rated it liked it. The writing is definately college level. Very complex and detailed. I personally found it to be a bit hard of a read which actually made it more of a dread, but I did learn alot from it during the semester.
