Description

Europe Against the Jews, 1880-1945 by Götz Aly The Holocaust was a genocide that required the support of thousands of helpers across Europe. This book, the first to examine the prehistory of the Holocaust throughout Europe, reveals how countries such as Romania, France, Russia, and Greece contributed to the genocide. Aly argues that a deadly combination of envy, competition, nationalism, and social upheaval fueled anti-Semitism in these countries, creating the preconditions for the deportations and murder that followed. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, Aly traces the sequence of events that made persecution of Jews an increasingly acceptable European practice. He documents the involvement of nearly all the countries occupied or allied with Germany in the destruction of the Jews, deepening our understanding of this complex history. This book sheds new light on the Holocaust, highlighting the crucial role played by Europe in the genocide.
