Details

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

David Cesarani's Final Solution is an intelligent and thought-provoking short history of the Holocaust. Not only does David Cesarani draw together and engage with the latest scholarly research, making extensive use of previously untapped resources such as diaries and letters from within the ghettos and camps (many of them in Polish or Yiddish and therefore previously largely inaccessible to Anglo - American scholars) but by adopting a rigorously Judeocentric approach the whole narrative of the march to genocide and its aftermath the book presents a subtly different timeline which casts afresh the horror of the period and engenders a significant re-evaluation of the how and why. Eschewing some of the more fevered theses about the guilt of the perpetrators (and indeed recasting how wide that net should be spread), David Cesarani's measured and skillful negotiation of a crowded field is, as a result, all the more devastating.

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.
