It has only been 55 years since the end of the Shoah, or Holocaust. One Jewish scholar remarked that it usually takes 50 years for the Jewish people to begin to tell their story. For such a recent historical event, of such magnitude, the whole history of the holocaust has not been told. We have provided here a brief overview of some of the major topics involving the events of those trying years. This section is intended for the non-scholar, as a solid introduction to holocaust studies. Elizabeth Best, Ph.D.
