The Holocaust differs from other genocides in recent history for
one main reason: there is no other example in which a minority was
annihilated systematically and as completely as possible on the
orders of a head of state and through the apparatus of government.
To reconstruct Hitler's central role in the Final Solution
represents a particular challenge. Hitler treated the murder of the
Jews as a matter of the utmost secrecy and was careful wherever
possible not to leave behind any written orders. Wherever his
instructions on this matter are recorded he has used codified
language. He kept away from the implementation of the orders and
feigned ignorance, even to his closest friends and colleagues.
Under these conditions, the surviving source material can only be
described as fragmentary. The Unwritten Order aims to offer
documentary proof of Hitler's central role in the murder of the
European Jews. In order to achieve this aim, various documents and
fragments of documents have been pieced together and the codified
language of the dictator deciphered.
