I Shall Bear Witness: The Diaries of Victor Klemperer 1933 - 41
Klemperer, Victor
Phoenix 1999
8vo softcover 636pp index. very good. The son of a rabbi, Klemperer was by 1933 a professor of languages at Dresden. Over the next decade he, like other German Jews, lost his job, his house and many of his friends. Throughout, he remained loyal to his country, determined not to emigrate, and convinced that each successive Nazi act against the Jews must be the last. Saved for much of the war from the Holocaust by his marriage to a gentile, he was able to escape in the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden and survived the remaining months of the war in hiding. Throughout, Klemperer kept a diary. Shocking and moving by turns, it is a remarkable and important document. 'This extraordinary book describes in detail, and with unparalleled force and clarity, what it was like to live in Germany under Nazism. The historical record is very much the richer for it' David Pryce-Jones, Financial Times nnAbout the AuthornBorn in 1881, Victor Klemperer studied in Munich, Geneva and Paris. He was a journalist in Berlin, taught at the University of Naples and received a DSM during WWI as a volunteer in the German army. He was subsequently a professor of romance languages at the Dresden Technical College until he was dismissed as a consequence of Nazi laws in 1935. He survived the Holocaust and the war and taught again as an academic until his death in 1960.

Facing the Extreme - Moral Life in the Concentation Camps.
Todorov, Tzvetan
ISBN: 0753809508
Phoenix February 3, 2000
8vo softcover 320pp very good. It is an understatement to call the Nazi and Soviet death camps "outposts of hell on earth," as we know from the testimony of a powerful body of witnesses. Todorov looks inside these camps, and there he finds hope for all humankind, arguing that innumerable instances of heroism, self-sacrifice, and caring show that "moral reactions are spontaneous, omnipresent, and eradicable only with the greatest violence" and that "morality cannot disappear without a radical mutation of the human species." Even in a regime of terror and depersonalization, the ordinary virtues survived and sometimes even flourished, Todorov maintains. His wide-ranging study bears him out, and it makes for fascinating reading.

Hitlers Willing Executioners
Goldhagen, Daniel
ISBN: 0349107866
Abacus 1997
8vo softcover 634pp index, b/w illus. very good. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen re-visits a question which history has treated as settled, and his research leads him to the inescapble conclusion that none of the answers holds true. That question is: "How could the Holocaust happen?", and his response is an exploration of German society and its ingrained anti-semitism that demands a fundamental revision of our thinking about the years 1933-1945. The author marshals fresh, primary evidence - including extensive testimony from the actual perpetrators - to show that the killers were ordinary Germans who were not compelled to act as they did (they knew they could refuse without retribution) yet they killed willingly and zealously.

Real Odessa: The Nazi Escape Operation to Peron’s Argentina
Goni, Uki
ISBN: 1862074038
London Granta Books 2002
8vo hardcover 382pp index, b/w illus. very good+ / very good+ d/w. It has long been known that Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Erich Priebke, and many other war criminals found refuge in Argentina. Now, for the first time, a courageous Argentine journalist shows exactly how it was done. This riveting book is the first to map the precise details of the smuggling of Nazis into Argentina, an operation organized with the enthusiastic support of Peron's presidential palace. Using previously unseen archival sources, The Real Odessa covers a wide geography - Scandinavia, Switzerland, Italy - and proves the complicity of the Vatican and the Argentine Catholic Church in one of the great postwar scandals. This is a factual, historical version of the events fictionalized in Frederick Forsyth's best-selling novel The Odessa File.

Hitler’s banker : Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht
Weitz, John.
ISBN: 0316929166
Boston Little Brown
8vo hardcover 361pp index, b/w illus. near fine / very good d/w. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht was a genius - but like his name, eccentric and highly enigmatic. Now, in the first-ever full-scale biography to appear in English, historian John Weitz brings this brilliant Nazi-era financier to life. Born to an impoverished family of the German upper middle class, Schacht gained worldwide fame as Germany's commissioner of currency and president of the Reichsbank in the 1920s. Single-handedly, he halted Germany's runaway inflation and, as a tough negotiator, freed Germany from the crippling reparation debts imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Later, under the Nazis, he built the economic and financial juggernaut that underwrote Hitler's military machine. Yet before the war was over, Hitler had imprisoned him in Dachau; afterward, he was one of only three defendants at the Nuremberg trials to be acquitted.

Hitler in Vienna, 1907-1913 : Clues to the Future
Jones, J. Sydney
ISBN: 0812828550
New York Stein & March 1983
8vo hardcover 350pp index, b/w illus. very good / good, loose, clipped d/w. From The New York Review of Books: The liveliest of {the recent books on Hitler}, and the one that will probably have the greatest interest for the lay reader, is Sydney Jones's account of Hitler's years in Vienna from 1907 to 1913. It is almost as much a book about the city as one about the young man from the provinces whose artistic ambitions it rebuffed. . . . In creating a sense of the atmosphere of the Austriancapital and contrasting its intellectual excitement and hectic vitality with Hitler's drab and lonely existence, he helps us to understand how his first political ideas--his contempt for the Austrian empire, his pan-Germanism, his loathing of a working class that parroted Marxist slogans, and, above all, his belief that the Jews were the source of all evil--grew out of disappointments suffered and resentments accumulated in a city that must have seemed to him to be heartless, unappreciative of talent, and ultimately degenerate and corrupt.
