3. Is there a particular aspect that's of interest?

I studied the Holocaust by studying how Germany came to become a place that could support a holocaust. I did not read a lot about the camps themselves, although I did visit Dachau. An astonishing place.

I also studied the united states history during the 1920s &30s, to get a sense of why the United States did not become like Nazi Germany. Both countries were in a terrible depression before their charismatic leaders took over. One country got hitler, the other got FDR.
