David Cesarani’s Final Solution is a magisterial work of history that chronicles the fate of Europe’s Jews. Based on decades of scholarship, documentation newly available from the opening of Soviet archives, declassification of Western intelligence service records, as well as diaries and reports written in the camps, Cesarani provides a sweeping reappraisal that challenges accepted explanations for the anti-Jewish politics of Nazi Germany and the inevitability of the “final solution.” The persecution of the Jews, as Cesarani sees it, was not always the Nazis’ central preoccupation, nor was it inevitable. He shows how, in German-occupied countries, it unfolded erratically, often due to local initiatives. For Cesarani, war was critical to the Jewish fate. Military failure denied the Germans opportunities to expel Jews into a distant territory and created a crisis of resources that led to the starvation of the ghettos and intensified anti-Jewish measures. Looking at the historical record, he disputes the iconic role of railways and deportation trains. From prisoner diaries, he exposes the extent of sexual violence and abuse of Jewish women and follows the journey of some Jewish prisoners to displaced persons camps. David Cesarani’s Final Solution is the new standard chronicle of the fate of a heroic people caught in the hell that was Hitler’s Germany. (fonte: amazon)… (altro)

Tra il 1941 e il 1945 Adolf Eichmann fu uno dei principale componente della diabolica macchina di sterminio progettata da Hitler per la liquidazione degli ebrei d'Europa, diretto responsabile del trasferimento nei campi della morte di oltre due milioni di persone. Eppure, fino alla clamorosa cattura in Argentina nel 1960 da parte dei servizi segreti israeliani, la sua figura e le sue attività rimasero oscure, tanto che, per lo Stato ebraico, il processo Eichmann divenne lo strumento per far conoscere gli orrori della Shoah a un mondo ancora in gran parte ignaro. In questa avvincente biografia David Cesarini smentisce i sue stereotipi più diffusi della figura di Eichmann: genio del mane, geneticamente predisposto allo sterminio di massa, o uomo comune, zelante esecutore di ordini superiori, semplice rotella dell'ingranaggio totalitario. Grazie a una nuova documentazione, l'autore ripercorre la vita di Eichmann, ristabilendo finalmente la verità storica sull'uomo che gestì il genocidio con l'asettica efficienza di un manager e gettando così nuova luce sull'intera catena di comando nazista.… (altro)
