Rutka (Ruth) Laskier: "The Polish Anne Frank" in Historical Context
Rutka lived in the town of Bedzin in SW Poland, not far from Auschwitz, where she and most of her family later perished. Rutka's diary itself is brief, and is supplemented with helpful information. The reader learns that the Star which the Jews were required to wear by the Nazis had similarly been required, in different places and times past, by both Christian and Muslim leaders (p. 29). There ...

The Earth is Round, and Poles Aren't Responsible for the German Nazi Death Camps
One malicious Polonophobic Holocaust myth is the one about the Nazis' choice of Poland as the site of the death camps because Poles welcomed them or at least wouldn't object much to them.

Encyclopedia of the Holocaust

Routledge, 2000

Not impressed
The description of this book should turn you off right away. 'nonsensational material' is how the book bills itself. What does this mean? That the death of 7 million people, the attempt to exterminate a people(whose only crime was that they didnt meet psuedo-scientific racial criteria) is not sensational! What an awful way to begin. Next this volume is weaker then the Laqueur 'Encyclopedia ...
