Why the Germans? Why the Jews? Envy, Race Hatred, and the Prehistory of the Holocaust by Götz Aly

A provocative analysis that sheds new light on one of history's most puzzling conundrums. German historian Götz Aly challenges conventional wisdom to reveal a complex web of material concerns and social envy that drove anti-Semitism in Germany from the 1800s to the Nazi era.

As Germany navigated the Industrial Revolution, the economic struggles of its majority population created fertile ground for resentment towards the successful Jewish minority. Aly's groundbreaking research shows how this envy ultimately contributed to the tragic events of the Holocaust, opening up a fresh perspective on one of history's darkest periods.
