The result of more than 30 years of research and investigation, this important new volume presents a thorough historical study of the events beyond the usual analysis of German policies, decisions, and measures that led to this most systematic and sustained of modern genocides.
Despite the plethora of books on Nazi Germany and its genocidal "Final Solution," there have been few sustained general studies, and none at all on the prewar period until the publication of "The Years of Persecution", the first volume of Saul Friedlander's epic study "Nazi Germany and the Jews". Covering the period from Hitler's rise to power to ...
Four months before Hitler came to power, Pavel Friedlander was born in Prague to a middle-class Jewish family. In 1939, seven-year-old Pavel and his family were forced to flee Czechoslovakia for France, but his parents were able to conceal their son in a Roman Catholic seminary before being shipped to their destruction.

Based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices from diaries, letters, and memoirs, Friedlander's Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Holocaust is accessible to a new readership in this abridged edition.

It works as both a factual reconstruction and as a close interpretation, as well as providing an analysis of the initially uncertain but, in the end, implacable process that, triggered by specific circumstances, led from the ideological premises to the murderous outcome.
