The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 Paperback - 2008

by Saul Friedlander


From the publisher

"Establishes itself as the standard historical work on Nazi Germany's mass murder of Europe's Jews. . . . An account of unparalleled vividness and power that reads like a novel. . . . A masterpiece that will endure." -- New York Times Book Review

The Years of Extermination, the completion of Saul Friedlnder's major historical opus on Nazi Germany and the Jews, explores the convergence of the various aspects of the Holocaust, the most systematic and sustained of modern genocides.

The enactment of the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews depended upon many factors, including the cooperation of local authorities and police departments, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. Necessary also was the victims' willingness to submit, often with the hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise.

In this unparalleled work--based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices from diaries, letters, and memoirs--the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.
