Holocaust : the Nazi persecution and murder of the Jews / Nazi persecution and murder of the Jews Peter Longerich. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2010. - xiii, 645 p. ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [573]-625) and index.

Racial persecution, 1933-1939 -- The persecution of the Jews, 1939-1941 -- Mass executions of Jews in the occupied Soviet zones, 1941 -- Genesis of the final solution on a European scale, 1941 -- The extermination of the European Jew, 1942-1945.

Focusing closely on the perpetrators and exploring the process of decision making, Longerich convincingly shows that anti-Semitism was not a mere by-product of the Nazis' political mobilization or an attempt to deflect the attention of the masses. Rather, from 1933 anti-Jewish policy was a central tenet of the Nazi movement's attempts to implement, disseminate, and secure National Socialist rule--and one which crucially shaped Nazi policy decisions. --from publisher description
