ENDLÖSUNG: VÖLKERVERSCHIEBUNG UND DER MORD AN DEN EUROPÄISCHEN JUDEN

Frankfurt Am Main; S. Fischer, 1995. Item #30295

Softbound. 8vo. 448 pages. 22 cm. First edition. In German. Title translates as: “'Final solution': Nazi population policy and the murder of the European Jews. “ The author, Gotz Aly, born 1947, was an independent left-wing journalist for many years after being expelled from public institutions in 1976 under the “Radicals Decree”. In the last twenty years he has published a number of extensively researched volumes on the holocaust. His “Final Solution” analyses the direct linkage between the Nazi “population movements” and the extermination of the Jews. “Making extensive use of Russian, German, and Polish archives, Aly has provided the most exact and detailed reconstruction of the ‘Final Solution’ yet achieved. As well as looking at the ideological imperative in the Nazi state to ‘solve the Jewish question’ and at Hitler's own role, Aly investigates the actions of those running the Reich Security Headquarters in Berlin and of those numerous lesser figures on the ground who were in the eye of the storm, grappling with the planning failures inherent in Nazi resettlement plans and experiencing mounting difficulties in trying to be rid of ‘their’ Jews. Aly illustrates, through the evidence he builds into an overall mosaic, the lunacy of Nazi race policy, and the variety of agencies that went into the gradual shaping of a policy of all-out genocide. ” (American publishers description) . Gotz Aly, long a marginalized intellectual, in recognition of his precise historical research, was honored by the German President Horst Kohler with an appointment to the board of trustees of the Jewish Museum Berlin. Subjects: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Causes. Deportatie. Joden. Holocaust. Politieke besluitvorming. Germany - Population policy. Condition. (HOLO2-100-20).
