Nazi Germany and The Jews 1933 - 1945
Prof Saul Friedlander
An abridged edition of Saul Friedlander's definitive two-volume history of the Holocaust: THE YEARS OF PERSECUTION and THE YEARS OF EXTERMINATION.
Saul Friedlander's historical masterpiece is perhaps the richest examination of the Holocaust yet written, and, crucially, one that never loses sight of the experiences of individuals in its discussion of Nazi politics and the terrible statistics and technological and administrative sophistication of the Final Solution.
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. Friedländer also provides the accounts of the persecutors themselves - and, perhaps most telling of all, the testimonies of ordinary German citizens. The second part covers the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews.

Reviews for Nazi Germany and The Jews 1933 - 1945
DAILY TELEGRAPH
Friedlander is a world authority on the holocaust but he is also a survivor... his intellectual discipline may be that of the historian but his writing is animated by the passion of memory that only his generation can fully express
OBSERVER
By the end we understand the events better than any previous historian has managed to explain it, while still feeling bewildered, belittled, and incredulous that it happened, let alone that it happened to him
LITERARY REVIEW
An account of unparalleled vividness and power that reads like a novel... A masterpiece that will endure
NEW YORK TIMES
This will be the standard work for many years to come
THE TIMES
Expressive and forceful; it's difficult to imagine a more comprehensive book about the Holocaust than this
