"Accompanying the Channel Four television series, Guido Knopp's disturbing account is the most complete history of the Holocaust to date. It reveals the appalling truth using the most recent historical research, including minutes of daily briefings by Joseph Goebbels, private papers of the SS Einsatzgruppen in charge of mass murder, and East German State Security documents detailing the deportation of Jews." "The book relives the agony of the victims and investigates the motives of the perpetrators. Survivors talk for the first time about their horrifying torture and their eventual escape from Nazi persecution. And the persecutors now at last confront the atrocities they committed. The genocide was ultimately a state crime staged by Hitler, but it could not have happened without the 'leading' henchmen such as Himmler, Heydrich and Hoss, nor the hundreds of thousands of accomplices who were not psychopaths but quite 'ordinary' men. And as well as those actively involved, there were the millions who looked on and looked away - those who knew enough to know that they did not want to know any more. All those who simply closed their eyes to the unthinkable allowed it to happen." "Illustrated with harrowing photographs, some previously unpublished, Hitler's Holocaust is the most comprehensive documentation yet produced that will help to ensure that we never forget the greatest crime committed in the twentieth, or any other century."--BOOK JACKET.
