Hitler e l’Olocausto
Rizzoli

Dove vanno cercate le origini dell'antisemitismo? Qual è stato il ruolo della chiesa cattolica e di quelle protestanti nella creazione dello stereotipo negativo dell'ebreo? Attraverso quale catena di misure sempre più repressive i nazisti sono arrivati alla "soluzione finale"? Che rapporto c'è fra la guerra mondiale e l'olocausto? Wistrich si sofferma anche su aspetti che di solito non trovano spazio nelle ricostruzioni generali: la diffusa collaborazione delle popolazioni locali allo sterminio nelle nazioni dell'Europa orientale invase dall'esercito tedesco e la sottovalutazione della realtà dell'olocausto, nel corso della guerra, da parte degli Stati Uniti.

Laboratory for World Destruction: Germans and Jews in Central Europe
University of Nebraska Press

During the sixty years between the founding of Bismarck’s German Empire and Hitler’s rise to power, German-speaking Jews left a profound mark on Central Europe and on twentieth-century culture as a whole. How would the modern world look today without Einstein, Freud, Marx, or Kafka? Without a whole galaxy of other outstanding Jewish scientists, poets, historians, and philosophers? How was it possible that this vibrant period in Central European cultural history collapsed into the horror and mass murder of the Nazi Holocaust? Robert Wistrich has written a book which is not only profound in its analysis of modern Jewish identity in central Europe and outstanding in its feel for nuance, but is also a study marked by a wonderful clarity of thought and expression
