One of our most eminent historians presents a powerful look at the
buildup to and aftermath of one of the most decisive moments of
World War II - Kristallnacht - not only for the Jewish population
suddenly identified as a group to be destroyed, but also in terms
of the international response it inspired and its larger
implications. In 'Kristallnacht', Martin Gilbert seamlessly
combines a moving account of the suffering of the victims of the
Nazi regime with a sophisticated analysis of the gradual process
which made the horrors of the Third Reich possible. Broadening his
canvas, Gilbert also powerfully depicts how the rest of the world
failed Europe's increasingly desperate Jewish population: in the
aftermath to Kristallnacht almost every country was asked to help;
most would not do so, despite the transport of a staggering 10,000
German Jewish children to Britain. This international indifference
had direct implications for future German policy, while the events
of Kristallnacht went on to radically influence the attitudes of
governments - and people - outside Germany towards Nazism.
