Very well structured and presented lecture. The author presents multiple viewpoints and considerations countries and regimes involved in this terrible period.

I have read many accounts of the Holocaust over my years. This amazing series of lectures puts the events in an understandable, comprehensive perspective that I have not appreciated before. The author is not a professional narrator and his delivery is less than polished, but that does not diminish his message. If you were to choose one book on the this tragic event to get a clear understanding of what happened and why, this is the one.

i found this book very interesting as it consists of a set of class lectures on the history and events leading to the Holocaust and the Zionist movement after WW2, I learned a lot about the definitions of anti-Semitism and Zionism, Jewish "movement" through Europe the past 150 years, and the key events that defined the Holocaust. This book does not address the horrors of the death camps. This book is made for audio since the author presents the information as if in class.

Very thorough lectures.

The narrator is so good that I listened to the book at any opportunity. The material is very interesting and presented in a logical sequence. I can't stop coming back to hear the details that I may have missed. Excellent read/listen!

Well researched and well read. Very interesting, sensitive, and truthful recounting of important moments.

Great lecture … glad I picked it up …

Excellent portrayal of all the angles of a truly saddening time on earth

An excellent explanation of all the history surrounding the Holocaust. It filled in the background and context for my visits to Auschwitz and Yad Vashem. I highly recommend all three.

Interesting lecture series documenting the historical background leading up to the holocaust and its relevance to today!

What a well written book, went into depth on many shades of what happened during world War 2. The amount of people who were touched and on the scale by such a hateful group that were the nazi machine. Must read and glad I could learn more about the struggles of the holocaust and the people who lived those terrible times. Truly astonishing.
