Product Description
Why the Germans? Why the Jews?
Author: Götz Aly
Format: Paperback
German historian Götz Aly investigates why the Holocaust took root in Germany of all places. Rather than tracing its origins to racial ideology or religious hostility, he argues, drawing on striking statistics and economic analysis, that German anti-Semitism grew from a more basic emotion: material envy.
Covering the prehistory of the genocide from the 1800s to the Nazi rise to power in 1933, Aly offers an original account of the social dynamics behind the greatest crime in history.
