"This is a well-written and insightful book on the Holocaust. I found particularly interesting Robert Wistrich's analysis of how Christian antisemitic roots were both reflected and refracted in the ideology of the Nazis."
— Riley (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Robert Wistrich’s Hitler and the Holocaust is a concise yet distinctly authoritative history of the Holocaust…Anyone who wants to read one book on the state of our understanding of Hitler and the Holocaust as we enter the new century would be well advised to begin with Wistrich. Never polemical and always meticulous, restrained in his prose and fair in his analysis, once again he displays a mastery of his subject and full command of even the most recent of scholarship.”
— Michael Berenbaum, former director of the Research Institute of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum -
“Wistrich’s balanced, nuanced discussion is illuminating.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“George Guidall’s velvet voice moves through…without a hitch, making an interesting story even better.”
— AudioFile -
“A good general history that’s also a relentlessly depressing example of a subject that can never make for light reading…A solid addition to a vast literature.”
— Kirkus Reviews
