Book excerpt: An educational guide for high school or college students, as well as for the general reader. Dwells, in particular, on the views of the perpetrators - their actions, thoughts, worldviews, and motivations. Discusses, also, the Jewish victims and relates the activities of four rescuers of Jews. Focusing on Germans, deals with prejudice, propaganda, and youth culture; mass murder; deportation; transports as seen by a perpetrator and a victim; high officials in the extermination camp system (Höss, Stangl, and Gerstein); and bystanders and rescuers. The approach is interdisciplinary - involving documents, testimonies, photographs, and works of literature and art.
