Holocaust Encyclopedia

uncensored and unconstrained

Welcome!

If this is the first time you are using this website, or if you would like to get a general orientation about this encyclopedia, and how it relates to other competing encyclopedias, either read our Introduction, or watch our 30-minute introduction movie right here:
If you are looking for a general introduction into The Holocaust, read our entry about this over-arching topic, which will guide you through this historical labyrinth. It is also available as an audio and a video presentation.
If you are looking for information on a specific Holocaust-related topic, use our site’s search function to pull up entries that deal with this.
If you feel like browsing our entries, use the Letter Squares above to navigate to a list of all entries starting with a specific letter. Alternatively, click on the List of Entries, which is sorted alphabetically. A more extensive listing of every page can be found in our List of Pages.
If you are curious about the connections among entries, use the list of Cross-References.
A list of all the sources quoted in this encyclopedia can be found in our Bibliography. All source references in our entries are linked to this page, so if you click on a reference, this page will open up in a separate window, positioned at the source referred to. If a source is accessible online, you will find a link in our bibliography, allowing you to pull up the source itself.
If you want to purchase our Encyclopedia, go to our store, where you can choose between a hardcover edition, a paperback edition, a text-only eBook version for downloading (PDF or ePub), and a downloadable eBook with text and audio files for all entries (ePub).

Multi-Media Approach

Each of our entries has a sound file posted at the top, which you can use to listen to the entry, rather than read it. We also strive to post videos along with each entries, but this is an ambitious project that will take some time to unfold. Hence, for now, we only have a few select topics accompanied by video documentaries.
