This exceptional Holocaust History textbook produced by a team of Holocaust scholars and edited by Mrs. Ruth Lichtenstein, the founder and director of Project Witness, is truly outstanding for its perceptive coverage of a disastrous period in Europe. In a comprehensive fashion, Witness to History traces the history of Europe from Bismarck, through the Treaty of Versailles, the anti-Semitic laws that followed the rise of the Nazis, World War II, the implementation of The Final Solution, liberation, and finally, on to the rebuilding. Witness to History untangles the complex history of the Holocaust, and provides the student with the deeper understanding of the unique nature of the tragedy. Replete with a fascinating array of documents, personal memoirs, maps, charts, a video, and a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide, Witness to History is a testament to the power of the human spirit regardless of the travails that are endured.

The Teacher’s Guide provides teachers with guidelines for preparing a stimulating and inspiring lesson. Every chapter in Witness to History has an accompanying lesson plan.
