Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The Holocaust, while orchestrated by the Germans, relied heavily on the complicity of numerous individuals across Europe, including state officials, police, and civilians who supported the genocide. To grasp the full scope of this atrocity, Götz Aly emphasizes the importance of examining its prehistory throughout the continent. Countries such as Romania, France, Russia, and Greece experienced a rise in anti-Semitism decades before the Nazis rose to power, driven by envy, competition, nationalism, and social upheaval. In the late 19th century, as educational and social opportunities expanded, Jewish minorities capitalized on these advancements, which fueled widespread resentment. Concurrently, newly formed nation-states, particularly in Eastern Europe, pursued ethnic homogeneity and national renewal, viewing these goals as intertwined. Utilizing a wealth of previously unpublished sources, Aly outlines how the persecution of Jews became an increasingly accepted practice across Europe. Ultimately, the architects of genocide found support for the Final Solution in nearly every occupied or allied nation. While acknowledging the culpability of German perpetrators, Aly highlights the broader European involvement in the destruction of the Jews, enriching our understanding of this tragic history.
