This guide presents a selection of over a hundred books on the Holocaust published in Serbia. Along with appropriate descriptions of these books, the guide points out the most important elements and events related to the Holocaust in occupied Serbia and follows its processes thematically and chronologically; it starts from the burning of books and Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany, through the forming of execution grounds, internment and concentration camps, to the tragic effects of the efforts to exterminate the Jewish people. The guide also points to books about individual destinies, and personal and family stories, as well as to historiographical studies that testify to one of the greatest crimes in the history of mankind. The final part of the guide refers to books dealing with perpetrators of war crimes, as well as righteous people who helped Jewish families survive, interpretations of the Holocaust, and pedagogical work on studying these topics.
