Menschen in Auschwitz by 9658483|Hermann Langbein book cover

πŸ“˜ Menschen in Auschwitz

Nahezu emotionslos und darum mit um so eindrücklicherer Sachlichkeit dokumentiert Hermann Langbein mit den Aussagen von Opfern und TÀtern den Alltag in Auschwitz. Bei seinen Protokollen hat er sich von dem Grundsatz leiten lassen, daß die Wahrheit über den Massenmord im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert genauso den Verzicht auf die DÀmonisierung der Mârder wie auf die Apotheose der Opfer verlange. »Die Anklage gilt der unmenschlichen Situation, die das nationalsozialistische System bewirkt.« (Quelle: [S. Fischer Verlag](https://www.fischerverlage.de/buch/hermann-langbein-menschen-in-auschwitz-9783596310869))

The Business of Genocide by 5894406|Michael Thad Allen book cover

πŸ“˜ The Business of Genocide

"During World War II, hundreds of thousands of prisoners were worked to death by the Nazis under a brutal system of slave labor in the concentration camps. By 1942, this vast network of slavery extended across all of German-occupied Europe, but the whole operation was run by a surprisingly small staff of bureaucrats - no more than 200 engineers and managers who worked in the Business Administration Main Office of the SS.". "The Business of Genocide powerfully contradicts the assumption that the SS forced slavery upon the German economy, demonstrating that instead industrialists actively sought out the Business Administration Main Office as a valued partner in the war economy. Moreover, while the bureaucrats who oversaw Holocaust operations have often been seen as technocrats or simple "cogs in the machinery," Allen reveals their ideological dedication, even fanatical devotion, to slavery and genocide in the name of National Socialism."--BOOK JACKET.

A Moral Reckoning by 8817356|Daniel Jonah Goldhagen book cover

πŸ“˜ A Moral Reckoning

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen cuts through the historical and moral fog to lay out the full extent of the Catholic Church's involvement in the Holocaust, transforming a narrow discussion fixated on Pope Pius XII into the long overdue investigation of the Church throughout Europe. He shows that the Church's and the Pope's complicity in the persecution of the Jews was much deeper than has been understood. The Church's leaders were fully aware of the persecutions. They did not speak out and urge resistance. Instead, they supported many aspects of the persecution. Some clergy even took part in the mass murder. But Goldhagen goes further. He develops a new, precise way for assessing the Church and its clergy's culpability, which was more extensive and varied than has been supposed. He then shows that the Church has, even according to its own doctrine, an unacknowledged duty of repair. He explores it, analyzes the Church's tactics of evasion, and delineates all that the Church must do to repair the harm it inflicted on Jews, and to heal itself. Brilliantly researched and reasoned, A Moral Reckoning is a path-breaking book of profound, and potentially explosive, importance. - Publisher.
