It explains the progression from confinement to starvation, disease, and brutal governance, and how survival was constrained by regulations, scarcity, and constant violence. The narrative highlights resistance, councils, “rescue through work,” and tragic episodes of killing and revolt, concluding with deportations and the larger machinery of mass destruction.","About this Book  \nIsolation, Starvation, and Disease  \nThe Holocaust was the widespread slaughter of more than 11 million people—including 6 million Jews—by the Nazis.  \nTo isolate the Jews of Germany and Poland, Adolf Hitler ordered that they be rounded up and imprisoned in run-down sections of cities—in bleak places called ghettos. In Warsaw, Lodz, Vilna: The Holocaust Ghettos, author Linda Jacobs Altman examines this often overlooked chapter of the Holocaust in which tens of thousands of Jews died, either from starvation or disease, or in hopeless revolts against the Nazis. Those who did survive the hardships of ghetto life were then deported to concentration camps to face almost certain death.  \n“…presents a realistic picture through personal stories…”  \n—VOYA  \n“…clearly describes complex topics with detailed prose…”  \n—The Book Report  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR  \nLinda Jacobs Altman specializes in writing about history, social issues, and multicultural subjects for young people.

Here, a group of resistance fighters surrenders to a Nazi patrol.  \nWhen World War II ended in 1945, a nameless horror became apparent: the deliberate murder of approximately 6 million European Jews and 5 million Gypsies, Poles, Slavs, and others by the forces of Nazi Germany. This warwithin-a-war came to be known as the Holocaust, from the word meaning“wholesale destruction and loss of life, especially by fire.”1  \nThe period of Nazi domination began on January 30, 1933, when a rabblerouser named Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, second in  \ncommand to President Paul von Hindenburg. Hitler was a vicious antiSemite who believed that the Nordic peoples, or “Aryans” as he called them, were a master race, destined to rule the world. The Jews were destined only to die, and the rest of the world’s “inferior” peoples to serve as slave labor for the Aryan masters.  \nHe promised the German people a glorious Third Reich (government or“empire”): the Holy Roman Empire was the first Reich; the unified German Empire of Prince Otto von Bismarck, the second.
