The Holocaust de Laurence Rees

The Holocaust

Autor Laurence Rees
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 2017

În acest volum monumental de 528 de pagini, publicat sub egida Penguin Classics, reținem o sinteză magistrală a uneia dintre cele mai întunecate perioade ale istoriei moderne. The Holocaust nu este doar o înșiruire de date, ci o lucrare ce conține o structură cronologică riguroasă, susținută de peste 25 de ani de cercetare intensă. Subliniem modul în care autorul Laurence Rees integrează în narațiune mărturii și interviuri anterior nepublicate, oferind o voce umană în fața statisticilor reci ale genocidului. Putem afirma că această lucrare completează volumul Hitler and the Holocaust de Robert S. Wistrich prin accentul pus pe evoluția haotică și pe mentalitatea grotescă a regimului, oferind un context mai larg ce pornește încă din secolul al XIX-lea. Dacă Wistrich se concentrează pe rădăcinile antisemitismului, Rees extinde analiza către logistica și execuția propriu-zisă a „Soluției Finale”. În contextul operei sale, această carte reprezintă punctul culminant al studiilor sale anterioare, precum The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler sau Hitler and Stalin. Dacă în lucrările precedente Rees analiza personalitatea tiranilor și mecanismele puterii, aici el mută reflectorul pe consecințele umane și pe procesul administrativ al crimei. Stilul este unul direct și accesibil, evitând jargonul academic dens, dar păstrând o autoritate incontestabilă prin utilizarea documentelor originale, a jurnalelor și a discursurilor oficiale. Este o lectură care explică nu doar cronologia faptelor, ci și procesul prin care legile civilizate au fost abandonate în favoarea barbariei.

Recenzii

Anyone wanting a compelling, highly readable explanation of how and why the Holocaust happened, drawing on recent scholarship and impressively incorporating moving and harrowing interviews need look no further than Laurence Rees's brilliant book
A masterpiece. Laurence Rees's best book yet . . . In compelling prose, Rees tells the full story of the most shameful period in the story of Mankind
You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more...
With The Holocaust he has set himself the task of writing an accessible chronological account of the murder of six million Jews in conditions of scarcely imaginable horror. He's done it excellently. There is no shortage of books on the Holocaust but Rees's stands out as a readable and authoritative exposition of how and why it happened, and the barbarous methods by which it was pursued. The amount of ground it covers in 500 pages is remarkable - from the anti-Semitism of popular German literature of the 19th century to Hitler's suicide and the surrender of his regime. It's excellently written and skilfully interweaves narrative history, sound interpretation and the recollections (through interviews, listed in the notes as "previously unpublished testimony") of survivors. Rees provides an exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about.
Rees has distilled 25 years of research into this compelling study, the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust. It is not a book for the faint-hearted. Some of the first-hand testimony is both shocking and heart-rending. Yet it has important things to say about human nature - what our species is capable of doing if not prevented by civilized laws - and demands to be read
This is by far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, but also the best in explaining both its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development
A fine book. Rees is a gifted educator, who can tell a complex story with compassion and clarity, without sacrificing all nuances...it comes alive through the voices of victims, killers and bystanders.
The interview material is largely compelling, always illuminating and on occasion, very moving . . . Like all of Rees's work, it is accurate and carefully researched
Absorbing, heart-breaking...he has drawn skilfully on speeches, documents and diaries of the Third Reich, and on the vast library of secondary literature, to weave together a powerful, inevitably harrowing revelation of the 20th century's greatest crime

Descriere scurtă

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER AND THE FIRST AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNT FOR 30 YEARS.

'By far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, and also the best at explaining its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development' Antony Beevor

'Groundbreaking. You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more' Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday

Two fundamental questions about the Holocaust must be answered:

How did it happen? And why?

More completely than any other single work of history yet published, Laurence Rees's Holocaust definitively answers them.
