European Genocides: Details about the Holocaust and Yugoslavian War

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

This audiobook contains two topics:

1 - The Yugoslavian Genocide is hard to explain. So many factors have contributed to the war, and eventually, the genocide in Bosnia, that many UN soldiers didn’t even know what to do with it. A lack of response, though, made the problem worse. And looking back on some of the cowardice and indifference, I’m sure many countries involved would like to go back in time and do it over. A combination of historical aspects such as the division of religion, the world wars, the Iron Curtain, and the fall of the Soviet Union were part of what led to a conflict that lasted for years in this sensitive region in Europe. Throughout the Bosnian War of 1992-- 1995, the Yugoslavian or Bosnian genocide describes either the Srebrenica massacre or the larger criminal activities against mankind and ethnic cleaning project performed by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) in areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska.

2 - Most people know what the Holocaust was. They have at least a vague image of what transpired in Europe during the 1940s. Still, the details may be blurry. So, let’s take a look at history and the events that shocked the world. And even though this was clearly not the first genocide in the world, it was one of particular proportions and scale, and therefore noteworthy. At the time of The Second World War, the Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah, was a genocide of European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies killed around 6 million Jews in German-occupied Europe, representing about two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.

Reviews for European Genocides

[Dean Rowe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is truly a very good book. I took advantage of this audiobook. It was an eye-opener. I was intending to discover more about this issue anyway, so it was no coincidence that I ran into this. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was trying to find. I guess the first couple of pages were my favorite ones, because the whole principle that the title talks about, is discussed. All the essentials are here. Later on in the book, more depth gets added, and I believe this is what makes it so great.
