Atlas of the Holocaust

Consists of 316 maps, with accompanying historical text, detailing the destruction of European Jewry (with several maps of North Africa), arranged in chronological order. Maps 1-25 deal with antisemitism in Europe from the end of the 19th century, and in Germany and Nazi-controlled territories before the outbreak of World War II. They are followed by maps showing the destruction of the Jews in all the European countries occupied by Germany, giving data on the number of Jews deported from many towns and cities, the destinations of the transports, acts of resistance and revolt, avenues of escape and rescue, and the fate of individuals. Map 316 shows the number of Jews murdered between 1 September 1939-8 May 1945 according to the most exact estimates of recent research - just over 5,750,000. Includes a detailed index of place names.
