The Unwritten Order: Hitler's Role in the Final Solution by Peter Longerich (Eng

Description: The Unwritten Order by Peter Longerich The Holocaust differs from other genocides in recent history for one main reason: there is no other example in which a minority was annihilated systematically and as completely as possible on the orders of a head of state and through the apparatus of government. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The frightening events of the Holocaust comprise a unique and terrifying period of history. The fact that this genocide of European Jews was the result of conscious decisions made by the highest levels of the Third Reich has been under-emphasised. Although it would be a mistake to put the murder of the Jews down to Hitlers will alone, it is time to make clear that Hitler was the driving force behind radicalisation of the National Socialist policy of extermination. Without Hitler there would be no Holocaust. This book offers documentary proof of Hitlers central role in the murder of European Jews. Various documents and fragments of documents have been pieced together and the codified language of the dictator has, for once and for all, been deciphered.
