Meer over het boek

Focusing on the Holocaust within the broader scope of Nazi violence, this work by Christian Gerlach presents a social history of mass persecution. It examines the motivations behind the targeted violence against various groups, highlighting the interconnected fates of these victims. Gerlach analyzes the ideological, political, and economic factors driving the atrocities and the evolving nature of persecution throughout the war. By incorporating actions from both German and non-German entities, the book challenges conventional views on race and its role in the violence.
