Jon Bridgman (1930-2015) was an American historian and a professor emeritus of the University of Washington. Bridgman received his doctorate from Stanford University in 1961 and spent his entire teaching career at the University of Washington. He was the recipient of the university's Distinguished Teaching Award in 1973. His popularity as a speaker earned him a position lecturing to the annual meeting of the UW Alumni Association from 1987 to 2002, . He published several works such as The Revolt of the Hereros and The End of the Holocaust: The Liberation of the Camps. The author asserts that the drama of liberation more than any other aspect of the Holocaust brought home to the West the horror of the Final Solution. Among the many books that have examined various aspects of the Jewish Holocaust, surprisingly few have treated the final days of the death camps in any detail. From July 1944 to May 1945, the Russian army liberated ten camps east of the Oder River; the Allied Forces liberated the five western camps in April and May of 1945. The names-Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, Buchenwald-form the 20th century's most horrifying litany. Jon Bridgman's absorbing account embraces the immediate prelude to the liberation of the camps when the advancing Allied armies provoked contradictory orders from Hitler and Himmler, the circumstances of the liberation of each of the camps, the policies of the various liberators, and the consequences of liberation, in particular its effect on American and European perceptions of the war and its aftermath.
