The Nazi campaign against Jewish people living in their territories began slowly; by the time death camps such as Auschwitz were established, it was too late for many Jews and other targeted groups. Even if they had the resources to leave, they were often denied entry by other countries. This volume, featuring a detailed timeline, discussion questions, and excerpts from primary sources, offers an in-depth look at the Nazis' rise to power. Engaging sidebars connect this past tragedy to present-day events, including recent genocides and the establishment of what many have called modern-day concentration camps at the US-Mexico border.
