David Cesarani Knihy

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. Přestože se přímo přičinil o to, že více než dva miliony Židů putovaly na smrt do Osvětimi a dalších vyhlazovacích táborů, až do roku 1960, kdy ho v Argentině dopadla izraelská tajná služba, zůstával neznámou osobou. Následný soudní proces měl namnoze nic netušící svět informovat o „konečném řešení“, ovšem o vnitřním fungování třetí říše se toho tehdy vědělo jen málo a Eichmannovy lži a vytáčky všechno jen ještě více zamlžily. Cesaraniho mimořádně podnětné pojednání uvádí na pravou míru chápání jedné z klíčových postav realizace „konečného řešení“ a přináší nové postřehy o tom, jak fungovala třetí říše v době, kdy sklouzávala ke genocidě, a jak se jeden konkrétní člověk zvrhl ve zločince.

The Holocaust has never been so widely commemorated, but our understanding of the accepted narrative has rarely, if ever, been questioned. David Cesarani's sweeping reappraisal challenges accepted explanations for the anti-Jewish politics of Nazi Germany and the inevitability of the 'final solution'.

"This book is the first to use the new archival sources to examine the record of the 'free world' during the Nazi persecution and mass murder of the Jews, and ask why so little was done to help the Jews. Acclaimed historians and new researchers from round the world reveal how much Britain, the SUA, Switzerland, and Sweden knew about the fate of the Jews and explains why only a few, exceptional individuals understood the catastrophe that was unfolding." -- BOOK JACKET.

A grey felt hat found at the scene was traced to Major Roy Farran, a highly decorated ex-SAS officer leading a covert counter-terrorist squad.

He explains how new research demonstrates that the massive ethnic cleansing Eichmann conducted in argues controversially that Eichmann was not necessarily predisposed to mass murder, exploring the remarkable, largely unknown period in Eichmann's career when he learned how to become a perpetrator of genocide.

Set against a detailed historical account of the situation in Europe at the end of World War II, this work aims to reveal for the first time how Nazi war criminals and collaborators were not only permitted to enter Britain undetected, but were in some instances actively recruited.
