Publisher's Summary:
Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
The Holocaust, in which 11 million people died, was the largest atrocity of the 20th century and perhaps the hardest to understand.
Approximately 6 million Jews and 5 million others including Roma people, Poles, Russian prisoners of war, political prisoners, homosexuals, people of colour, Jehovah's Witnesses, and various other minorities were first persecuted and then murdered.
How, both morally and logistically, had this came to happen? From received sentiments of anti-Semitism at the beginning of the 20th century, through the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, to the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 and finally Second World War, the victimisation of these minorities intensified beyond precedent.
With the complicity of a nation hatred became policy. Under the control of sadists, bureaucrats and even ordinary soldiers, irrational acts were then enacted on an industrial scale, and with the use of concentration camps, Western Europe witnessed its most shocking treatment of humanity in modern history.

Critic Reviews:
If the past is a foreign country, History in an Hour is like a high-class tour operator, offering delightfully enjoyable short breaks in the rich and diverse continent of our shared past. (Dominic Sandbrook)
The practice of History is ever-evolving, and the History In an Hour idea brings it back up to date for the digital age. Colley writes in an attractively readable style, and manages to convey the huge story that is WWII in a logical and accessible manner (Andrew Roberts, Bookseller)
This is genius (MacWorld.com)
Members Reviews:
Brilliant Series!
As a History Graduate, and I can't recommend this series of audio downloads enough! They are so full of facts and at 1.75 are the best value around.
