The first comparative, comprehensive history of Nazi mass killing -
showing how genocidal policies were crucial to the regime's
strategy to win the war Nazi Germany killed approximately 13
million civilians and other non-combatants in deliberate policies
of mass murder, mostly during the war years. Almost half the
victims were Jewish, systematically destroyed in the Holocaust, the
core of the Nazis' pan-European racial purification programme. Alex
Kay argues that the genocide of European Jewry can be examined in
the wider context of Nazi mass killing. For the first time, Empire
of Destruction considers Europe's Jews alongside all the other
major victim groups: captive Red Army soldiers, the Soviet urban
population, unarmed civilian victims of preventive terror and
reprisals, the mentally and physically disabled, the European Roma
and the Polish intelligentsia. Kay shows how each of these groups
was regarded by the Nazi regime as a potential threat to Germany's
ability to successfully wage a war for hegemony in Europe.
Combining the full quantitative scale of the killings with the
individual horror, this is a vital and groundbreaking work.
