The Holocaust: A New History
Autor Laurence Reesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iul 2018
Laurence
Rees
has
spent
twenty-five
years
meeting
the
survivors
and
perpetrators
of
the
Third
Reich
and
the
Holocaust.
In
this
sweeping
history,
he
combines
this
testimony
with
the
latest
academic
research
to
investigate
how
history's
greatest
crime
was
possible.
Rees
argues
that
while
hatred
of
the
Jews
was
at
the
epicenter
of
Nazi
thinking,
we
cannot
fully
understand
the
Holocaust
without
considering
Nazi
plans
to
kill
millions
of
non-Jews
as
well.
He
also
reveals
that
there
was
no
single
overarching
blueprint
for
the
Holocaust.
Instead,
a
series
of
escalations
compounded
into
the
horror.
Though
Hitler
was
most
responsible
for
what
happened,
the
blame
is
widespread,
Rees
reminds
us,
and
the
effects
are
enduring.
The
Holocaust:
A
New
Historyis
an
accessible
yet
authoritative
account
of
this
terrible
crime.
A
chronological,
intensely
readable
narrative,
this
is
a
compelling
exposition
of
humanity's
darkest
moment.

Rees'sbrilliantbook
A masterpiece. Laurence Rees's best book yet. . .In compelling prose, Rees tells the full story of the most shameful period in the story of Mankind
You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more...
WithThe Holocausthe has set himself the task of writing an accessible chronological account of the murder of six million Jews in conditions of scarcely imaginable horror. He's done it excellently.There is no shortage of books on the Holocaust but Rees's stands outas a readable and authoritative exposition of how and why it happened, and the barbarous methods by which it was pursued.The amount of ground it covers in 500 pages is remarkable -from the anti-Semitism of popular German literature of the 19th century to Hitler's suicide and the surrender of his regime. It's excellently written and skilfully interweaves narrative history, sound interpretation and the recollections (through interviews, listed in the notes as "previously unpublished testimony")of survivors. Rees providesan exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about.
Rees has distilled 25 years of research into this compelling study, the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust.It is not a book for the faint-hearted. Some of the first-hand testimony is both shocking and heart-rending. Yet it has important things to say about human nature - what our species is capable of doing if not prevented by civilized laws - and demands to be read
This is by far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, but also the bestin explaining both its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development
A fine book.Rees is a gifted educator, who can tell a complex story with compassion and clarity, without sacrificing all nuances...it comes alive through the voices of victims, killers and bystanders.
The interview material is largely compelling, always illuminating and on occasion, very moving . . . Like all of Rees's work, it is accurate and carefully researched
Absorbing, heart-breaking...he has drawn skilfully on speeches, documents and diaries of the Third Reich, and on the vast library of secondary literature, to weave togethera powerful, inevitably harrowing revelation of the 20th century's greatest crime
