Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust second edition
This new edition of 'Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust' is designed for the AS and A2 topics for AQA and OCR B. It covers the origins of anti-Semitism from the nineteenth century, and traces the events that took place in Germany from 1933 to 1945. The anti-Semitic views of Hitler are analysed as is the means by which these views shaped the racial state in the Third Reich. The impact of the Second World War and the events which led ultimately to the Final Solution are then assessed.

All of these events are also considered within the wider historiographical debates which have surrounded this period of history, from questions on who should ultimately bear the blame, to issues of Holocaust denial.

Throughout the book, key dates, terms and issues are highlighted, and historical interpretations of key debates are outlined. Summary diagrams are included to consolidate knowledge and understanding of the period, and exam-style questions and tips written by examiners provide the opportunity to develop exam skills.

This book is suitable for a variety of courses including the following specifications:
AQA Unit 2: Anti-Semitism, Hitler and the German People, 1919-45
OCR B Topic 4: Debates about the Holocaust
