Působivý, obsáhlý a čtivý životopis z pera Davida Cesaraniho, přednášejícího novodobé dějiny na Londýnské univerzitě, představuje první dílo, které o Eichmannovi a jeho životě bezprostředně po soudním procesu s tímto nacistickým zločincem vyšlo. Adolf Eichmann hrál ústřední roli v genocidě, kterou nacisté v letech 1941 až 1945 páchali na evropských Židech.

Adolf Eichmann was at the centre of the Nazi genocide against the Jews of Europe between 1941 and 1945.

Drawing on recently unearthed documents,...

For the last decade scholars have been questioning the idea that the Holocaust was not talked about in any way until well into the 1970s. After the Holocaust: Challenging the Myth of Silence is the first collection of authoritative, original scholarship to expose a serious misreading of the past on which, controversially, the claims for a 'Holocaust industry' rest. Taking an international approach this bold new book exposes the myth and opens the way for a sweeping reassessment of Jewish life in the postwar era, a life lived in the pervasive, shared awareness that Jews had narrowly...

Why didn't the Hungarian Jews do more to resist the 'Final Solution'? Why didn't the Allies bomb the gas chambers at Auschwitz? Why did the Allies sabotage schemes to save the Jews?In this provocative book, historians from Hungary, Israel, Britain and the United States examine one of the greatest tragedies of World War II -- the deportation and murder of 435,000 Hungarian Jews during the last months of the war when German military and diplomatic power was on the wane. Could Jews in the West have done more to help, or were they 'prisoners' of civil servants and politicians in Whitehall and the...
