Reviews
Beorn has produced an excellent and accessible survey on the history of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. Individual chapters could readily be used to shape or supplement primary source readings in introductory and upper-level undergraduate courses on the Holocaust. Moreover, the footnotes and "suggested reading" lists at the end of each chapter will undoubtedly provide instructors with ideas for other works that they can include on their future syllabi. * H-Judaic *
Beorn provides a fine overview of numerous key issues surrounding the Holocaust in Eastern Europe ... [A] critical, concise and clear overview of current trends in Holocaust research, as they relate to some of the Holocaust's main actors and sites of genocide ... [The] volume offers valuable background information, sources and questions for addressing one of the greatest catastrophes of our time. * German History *
In recent years the focus of Holocaust historians has shifted eastwards. In this accessible and cutting-edge book which neatly synthesises this research, Waitman Beorn explains why Eastern Europe was indeed "the epicentre of the Final Solution". A very valuable resource for all students and scholars of the Nazi genocide of the Jews. * Dan Stone, Professor of Modern History, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK *
