Holocaust City: The Making of the Jewish Ghetto

This is an important work of Holocaust scholarship that explores the role of the local population and local officials in the genocide of Hungarian Jews. Cole is a wonderful writer whose extensive research has resulted in an important addition to the picture we have of how the Holocaust could happen. It contextualizes the "Final Solution" and shows how its implementation in Hungary owed much to local interests and local initiatives.
