ReviewsDrawing on the HebrewEncyclopedia of Jewish Communitiesand survivor testimonies, an international team of scholars has written over 1100 alphabetical entries about the ghettos throughout Europe. This set examines the details of each Holocaust ghetto individually, giving geographical and sociological aspects of each, along with other illuminating details, such as number of survivors., "This is an outstanding piece of scholarship that fills a gap in reference collections dealing with the Holocaust. There have been general works such as The Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (2000) and books about Warsaw and Lodz ghettos, but this is the first comprehensive source dealing with the ghettos created by the Nazis. It is an essential work for academic collections supporting history, Jewish Studies, and Holocaust studies." - Booklist Starred Review ,, "This is an outstanding piece of scholarship that fills a gap in reference collections dealing with the Holocaust.

SynopsisA two-volume set. Seventy years after the outbreak of World War II, most of the European ghettos have still not been systematically researched. This pioneering two-volume encyclopedia gathers data from historical studies, testimonies, and documents dealing with more than 1,100 ghettos throughout Eastern Europe. This encyclopedia offers detailed entries on the various ghettos into which the Jews of Eastern Europe were confined during the Holocaust. Entries on each ghetto are written by scholars and specialists on their topic and include location, wartime name, and geographical coordinates, and, for the larger ghettos, information on life before World War II and during the Soviet occupation era, German (Nazi) occupation, ghetto structure, institutional life and leadership, terror and killing operations, underground resistance, and the number of survivors at liberation. They also describe the differences between each ghetto and examine the difficulties of daily life in the ghetto, coping strategies, and different forms of resistance. The first reference book of its kind, The Yad Vashem Encyclopedia of the Ghettos during the Holocaust is a valuable resource for diverse disciplines and is supplemented by a special DVD of wartime footage of ghettos filmed in real time during the Holocaust.
