Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is an abridged edition of
Saul Friedlander's definitive Pulitzer Prize-winning two-volume
history of the Holocaust: Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of
Persecution, 1933-1939 and The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany
and the Jews, 1939-1945.
The book's first part, dealing with the National Socialist
campaign of oppression, restores the voices of Jews who were
engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality following the Nazi
accession to power. Friedlander also provides the accounts of the
persecutors themselves--and, perhaps most telling of all, the
testimonies of ordinary German citizens who, in general, stood
silent and unmoved by the increasing waves of segregation,
humiliation, impoverishment, and violence.
The second part covers the German extermination policies that
resulted in the murder of six million European Jews--an official
program that depended upon the cooperation of local authorities and
police departments, the passivity of the populations, and the
willingness of the victims to submit in desperate hope of surviving
long enough to escape the German vise.
A monumental, multifaceted study now contained in a single
volume, Saul Friedlander's Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is
an essential study of a dark and complex history.
