// **Survivors, Victims, and Perpetrators: Essays on the Nazi Holocaust** // **:** This book was written by Joel Dimsdale and is a comprehensive analysis of the Nazi Holocaust. The book is broken up into chapters, but is essentially written in three parts. The first part of the book focuses on the history of the concentration camps, anti-Semitism, and political opposition to the Nazis in Germany. The second part of the book focuses more on the emotional and psychological health of the concentration camp survivors. This includes how they cope with the stress from the camps and their response to therapy. Finally, the third part of the book focuses on the behavior of the Nazis and includes an analysis of this. All in all, this book is designed to give an in-depth look at concentration camps, their prisons, and the Nazis.

This book was written by Lyn Smith whom for the past 25 years has been interviewing and recording the stories of Holocaust survivors. Putting these stories together she has created this book which gives the history of the Holocaust from the eyes of those in concentration camps, and those who stayed in hiding all those years. In the book readers learn firsthand what people thought and felt when they realized what was really going on, and what exactly was going on and how bad everything really was. Also, unlike many other stories about the Holocaust, this book concludes by showing the afterlife of the survivors, and how the path to rebuilding their lives was disrupted by family losses and a feeling of guilt and remembrance for what had previously happened to them. Finally, despite the horror and tragedy these survivors went through, their stories showed their will and hope for survival which ultimately in the end helped them survive.
