This book explores the extraordinary story of Jewish POWs in German
captivity during the Second World War - extraordinary because of
the contrast between Germany's genocidal policy towards Jews on one
hand, and its relatively non-discriminatory treatment of Jewish
POWs from western countries on the other. The radicalisation of
Germany's anti-Semitic policies entered its last phase in June 1941
with the invasion of the Soviet Union; during the following four
years, nearly six million Jews were murdered. In parallel,
Germany's POW policies had gone through a radicalisation process of
their own, resulting in the murder of millions of Soviet POWs, of
Allied commando soldiers, and of POW escapees, with Adolf Hitler
eventually transferring in July 1944 the responsibility for POWs
from the Wehrmacht to Heinrich Himmler, in his role as head of the
Replacement Army. And yet, despite all this, Jewish POWs from
western countries were usually not discriminated against and were
treated, in most cases, according to the 1929 Geneva Convention.
Jewish Soldiers in Nazi Captivity combines memoirs, letters, and
oral histories with Red Cross camp visit reports and other archival
material to challenge the accepted view of the Holocaust as an
indiscriminate murder of all Jews in Europe and will help to
reshape our understanding of the Holocaust and of Nazi Germany.
