FINALIST; 2016 National Jewish Book Award (Holocaust category) Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Holocaust in Croatia recounts the history of the Croatian Jewish community during the Second World War; with a focus on the city of Zagreb. Ivo and Slavko Goldstein have grounded their study on extensive research in recently opened archives; additionally aided by the memories of survivors to supplement and enrich the interpretation of documents. The authors’ accessible narrative; here available in English for the first time; has been praised for its objectivity (including rare humane acts by those who helped to save Jews) and is complemented by a large bibliography offering an outstanding referential source to archival materials. As such; The Holocaust in Croatia stands as the definitive account of the Jews in Croatia; up to and including the criminal acts perpetrated by the pro-Nazi Ustasha regime; adding significantly to our knowledge of the Holocaust.

Review
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Prodigious workBy CloudA great resource for anyone interested in the Chinese American experience or the development of the INS (Immigration Naturalization Services). Many defining aspects of the American Chinatown culture and psychology is surprisingly the result of the Paper Family subtefuge. This unique journey of the early Chinese immigrants is recounted with clarity; scholarship and understanding.
