Böcker av Christopher R. Browning

Supplemented with additional writings from Hilberg, primary source materials, and a comprehensive historical survey from leading scholars Christopher Browning and Peter Hayes, this is a rich and accessible introduction to a topic in Holocaust history that remains understudied even today.

The Nazi holocaust haunts the modern imagination as a compelling example of organised human atrocity on a mass scale. This authoritative account of the evolution of Nazi Jewish policy seeks to answer fundamental questions about what actually happened, and why, between the outbreak of war and the emergence of the Final Solution.

Focusing on the months between the German conquest of Poland in September 1939, which brought nearly two million additional Jews under Nazi control, and the beginning of the deportation of Jews to the death camps in the spring of 1942, this title describes how Poland became a laboratory for experiments in racial policies.
