"The authors document the destruction of about 80 percent of the
Jews in the quasi-autonomous independent State of Croatia . . .
Written in intimate detail, the book is an important source about a
lesser-known corner of the Holocaust in the heart of Europe."
--Choice
"Anyone looking for an objective treatment of the Croatian
Holocaust need look no further than Ivo and Slavko Goldstein's
TheHolocaust in Croatia. Based on extensive archival
research, as well as energetic and comprehensive use of
contemporary newspaper accounts and secondary sources, this volume,
written by two of Croatia's preeminent historians, tells the story
of the Jewish community in Croatia from earliest times up through
the Second World War, focusing especially on the Jewish community
in Zagreb. This riveting account belongs in every university
library."
--Sabrina Petra Ramet, Norwegian University of Science and
Technology
"At last, this nuanced synthesis of the Jewish community in Zagreb
before and during the Holocaust is available in Nikolina
Jovanovic's masterful translation. After a survey of the early
twentieth century, the Goldsteins parse the bureaucracy that was
put into place by the Croatian fascist state to disenfranchise
Zagreb Jews and strip them of their property, their livelihood,
their lives. Drawing on thousands of archival documents, they trace
the fates of Zagreb's Jewish families and institutions and capture
how the Holocaust played out in this small but important Central
European city."
--Ellen Elias-Bursac, prize-winning literary translator
"The Holocaust in Croatia is a voluminous work and a
substantial contribution to the study of European Jewry. This new
English translation is long overdue and destined to reach a far
broader audience while influencing Holocaust Studies in a profound
manner."
--European History Quarterly
