"The Holocaust took place across more than 20 European countries which during World War II were in the grip of Nazi Germany. During this period political boundaries changed, states were dismantled, new states established, and hundreds of place names, which before the war were unknown even to educated people, suddenly assumed great historic importance. Who would know the location of towns like Auschwitz, Treblinka, or Chelmno were it not for the death camps established there by the Germans? ... It is impossible to learn and understand Holocaust history without complementing the chronological description and analysis of the events with adequate information on the geography underlying this chapter of modern history." Jeshajahu Weinberg, Founding Director, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Historical Atlas of the Holocaust, New York: Macmillan Pub. USA : Simon & Schuster Macmillan, 1996.
