Samenvatting

An intelligent, comprehensive and authoritate history of the Holocaust from one of our finest historians.

The Holocaust has never been so widely commemorated, but our understanding of the accepted narrative has rarely, if ever, been questioned. Here, David Cesarani argues that Hitler's extermination of the Jews was neither planned nor inevitable. As the war went against the Third Reich, the persecution of Europe's Jews escalated from discrimination to genocide. Drawing on a vast array of sources, dating from the earliest days of Nazi Germany to the post-war displacement camps, Final Solution recounts the terrible fate of Europe's Jews, often in their own words. Resting on decades of scholarship, it is compelling, authoritative, and profoundly disturbing. 'As definitive an account of the years of Jewish persecution in the 1930s and 1940s as we are likely to get . . . it deserves to be widely read and reflected upon in a continent where racial and religious prejudice is not as far below the surface as we like to think' Richard Overy, Literary Review 'A masterpiece . . . dense with fascinating detail, so very well written, and so passionately and compellingly argued.' Jewish Chronicle 'A brilliant synthesis and interpretation of the greatest crime of the modern era . . . A book that demands to be read and deserves every historical award going' Oliver Kamm, The Times

Final Solution is an intelligent and thought-provoking short history of the Holocaust, by historian David Cesarani. Employing an insightful Judeocentric perspective, the book casts a fresh look upon one of history's most terrifying periods.

This compelling narrative uncovers the threads of untold stories, using diaries and letters from within ghettos and camps. These precious documents, mostly in Polish and Yiddish, were previously largely inaccessible to Anglo-American scholars. By adopting a rigorously Judeocentric approach the whole narrative of the march to genocide and its aftermath, the book presents a subtly different timeline and engenders a significant re-evaluation of the how and why.

Final Solution provides a powerful re-assessment of the genocide of World War II, avoiding overstated theories about the guilty. It redefines who shares the guilt, shedding light on the subtleties that contributed to such horrifying events.
