Despite the outpouring of books, movies, museums, memorials, and courses devoted to the Holocaust, a coherent explanation of why such ghastly carnage erupted from the heart of civilized Europe in the 20th century still seems elusive even 70 years later. Numerous theories have sprouted in an attempt to console ourselves and to point the blame in emotionally satisfying directions - yet none of them are fully convincing.

The best introduction to German anti-Semitism!!!
Revisado: 02-03-23
This book is a GEM! Firstly, because it deals with a vitally important subject. Secondly, because it is splendidly written. Not only is the writing engaging and wonderfully clear, but it is read by one of Audible's best readers, Don Hagen. After hearing two minutes, I immediately bought the Kindle version. (I have found that I retain information much better if I have both seen and heard the text than if I had only heard or read it). Finally, the level of description is basic but not in the least bit "dummied down". It's the best introduction to the phenomenon of German anti-Semitism and the Holocaust that I've ever encountered. I recommend it to general readers and those who, like me, are obsessed with trying to understand how a cultured, educated nation like 20th century Germany could have harbored - and largely encouraged - so profound an evil as "The Final Solution of the Jewish Question".

The failure of the Weimar Republic has always been a contentious issue due to the events that followed its demise. As in 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The following will discuss the failure of The Weimar Republic and Hitler's role; in relation to political, economic, and social factors, divided into five sections based around the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment, the Weimar Constitution, the economic problems up until 1923, the role of political parties and individuals, and the Wall Street Crash coupled with the ensuing Great Depression.

Terrible narrator!
Revisado: 08-27-22
The narrator is AWFUL! His speaking style is that of a high school sophomore and he cannot pronounce German names properly. I wish this book were narrated by a pro, as I have learned that I cannot return it.
