In the 1930s, the British public's emotional response to the
atrocities of the Spanish Civil War, including the bombing of
Guernica, shaped the mass-politics of the age. Similarly, alleged
German atrocities in World War I against the Belgians and the
French had led to campaigns in Britain for donations to support the
victims. Why then, was the British public seemingly less concerned
with the treatment of Jews in Hitler's Germany? Outlining a
'hierarchy of compassion', Russell Wallis seeks to show how and why
the Holocaust met initially with such a muted response in Britain.
Drawing on primary source material, Wallis shows why the Nuremberg
laws, Kristallnacht and the creation of the Prague Ghetto were
reported without great protest. Even after the reality of the
'Final Solution' was revealed to the British Parliament by Anthony
Eden in 1942, the Holocaust remained a footnote to the war effort.
Britain, Germany and the Road to the Holocaust is a study of the
British relationship with Germany in the period, and a dissection
of British attitudes towards the genocide in Europe.
