The survivor's stories - read their own words, hear their own voices. Between 1938 and 1945, six million Jewish men, women, and children were killed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators. For many, the sheer enormity of the crimes makes it difficult to imagine. Here, historical information combines with moving first-person accounts to give you the full story. Maps, charts, and timelines provide eye-opening context and the testimony of survivors featured in the book and accompanying DVD take you behind the statistics. Produced in association with the Shoah Foundation, this book is a major US Holocaust memorial and tolerance education organization, with a foreword from Steven Spielberg. Discover the faith and courage that guided people through one of the darkest hours of the modern age.
First published August 2007.

Bringing historical events to life with its laugh-out-loud stories and striking illustrations, "Badass" chronicles the asskicking age of antiquity to the fearless modern era in chapters that include the stories of: Ramses II - the greatest of the Egyptian Pharaohs, who once said look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair; Alexander the Great - Macedonian King who conquered the entire known world before his 33rd birthday; Blackbeard - the most feared cutthroat to ever sail the Caribbean; and, Bhanbhagta Gurung - Gurkha soldier who cleared out six enemy positions with grenades, a knife, and a healthy disregard for his own safety. From Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan to Bruce Lee and George S. Patton, this relentless onslaught of badassitude is the perfect addition to the canon of manliness that includes "The Truth About Chuck Norris" and "The Alphabet of Manliness".
