Questa serie completa si addentra nei capitoli più oscuri della Germania nazista, esaminando meticolosamente il devastante impatto dell'antisemitismo sulla popolazione ebraica. Analizza le motivazioni politiche, i fondamenti ideologici e la macchina burocratica che hanno facilitato la persecuzione e l'annientamento sistematici. Le opere all'interno di questa raccolta offrono una prospettiva sfaccettata, considerando i punti di vista sia delle vittime che dei perpetratori per catturare l'orrore e l'assurdità dell'epoca. Si pone come uno studio cruciale, che onora la memoria di coloro che sono stati persi e fornisce una profonda visione di uno dei periodi più tragici della storia.

A magisterial history of the Jews in Nazi Germany and the regime's policies towards them in the years prior to World War II and the Holocaust. Written by arguably the world's leading scholar on the subject. číst celé
Saul Friedländer, který se mimochodem narodil v Praze a unikl holokaustu, v této bohatě dokumentované knize odpovídá na otázku, jež vrhla temný stín na poválečný svět: jak mohl jeden z nejvyspělejších evropských národů vyhladit na šest milionů nevinných obětí? Dává přitom velké slovo přímým svědkům – nikoli pamětem, ty nebývají vždycky spolehlivé, ale dobovým deníkům a dopisům obětí i pachatelů, stejně jako oficiálním projevům a úředním výnosům. První část knihy, zabývající se národně socialistickou kampaní útlaku, přináší hlasy Židů, kteří se po nástupu nacistů ocitli ve stále více děsivé realitě. Druhá část pokrývá německou vyhlazovací politiku, která vedla k vraždě šesti milionů evropských Židů - oficiální program, který závisel na spolupráci místních úřadů a policejních útvarů, pasivitě obyvatelstva a ochotě obětí podlehnout zoufalé naději, že přežijete natolik dlouho, než uniknete německé svěráku. Kniha Nacistické Německo a Židé je základní studiem této temné a složité historie.
The second and concluding volume of the definitive two-volume account of the Holocaust číst celé
An abridged edition of Saul Friedlander's definitive two-volume history of the Holocaust: THE YEARS OF PERSECUTION and THE YEARS OF EXTERMINATION. Saul Friedlander's historical masterpiece is perhaps the richest examination of the Holocaust yet written, and, crucially, one that never loses sight of the experiences of individuals in its discussion of Nazi politics and the terrible statistics and technological and administrative sophistication of the Final Solution. The book's first part, dealing with the National Socialist campaign of oppression, restores the voices of Jews who were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality following the Nazi accession to power. Friedländer also provides the accounts of the persecutors themselves - and, perhaps most telling of all, the testimonies of ordinary German citizens. The second part covers the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews.
Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is an abridged edition of Saul Friedländer's definitive Pulitzer Prize-winning two-volume history of the Holocaust: Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Persecution, 1933-1939 and The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945. The book's first part, dealing with the National Socialist campaign of oppression, restores the voices of Jews who were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality following the Nazi accession to power. Friedländer also provides the accounts of the persecutors themselves—and, perhaps most telling of all, the testimonies of ordinary German citizens who, in general, stood silent and unmoved by the increasing waves of segregation, humiliation, impoverishment, and violence. The second part covers the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews—an official program that depended upon the cooperation of local authorities and police departments, the passivity of the populations, and the willingness of the victims to submit in desperate hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise. A monumental, multifaceted study now contained in a single volume, Saul Friedländer's Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is an essential study of a dark and complex history.
