A concise history of the Holocaust, covering all the major topics and issues important to that history - the first to be written by a German (non-Jewish) scholar of the younger generation. The History of the Holocaust keeps being written and rewritten in ever greater detail, but almost always by Jewish writers and historians. Wolfgang Benz's book makes an important contribution by bringing German perspectives to that terrible event. His goal is to provide and analyse all the incontrovertible facts and political decisions that led to the dehumanisation and systematic murder of millions of Jews and other ethnic minorities during the Nazi regime. He details the laws, the events, the individuals, and the decisions from 1933 to 1945. The book concludes with a discussion of what the German people really knew. A masterpiece of historical compression, this book is a powerful introduction to the history of the Holocaust.

In den letzten Jahren hat sich gezeigt, dass der Antisemitismus zu einem ernst zu nehmenden Problem in den Zuwanderergesellschaften Europas geworden ist. Vor allem muslimische Jugendliche projizieren ihren Hass gegenüber Israel auf die in den europäischen Ländern lebenden Juden. Antisemitische Stereotype und Propaganda aus den arabischen Ländern finden via Satellitenfernsehen und über radikale Islamisten Eingang in die Gedankenwelt der Migranten. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, Expertinnen und Experten aus Deutschland, Großbritannien, den Niederlanden und Schweden beleuchten in diesem Band sowohl historische als auch aktuelle Hintergründe dieses Phänomens.

Planning and building under the National Socialists pervaded all areas of life between 1933 and 1945 and were inseparably linked to the regime’s totalitarian practices – both in the German Reich and in the European territories it occupied. The members of the Independent Commission of Historians – Wolfgang Benz, Tilman Harlander, Elke Pahl-Weber, Wolfram Pyta, Adelheid von Saldern, Wolfgang Schäche and Regina Stephan – were tasked by what is now the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building with the research project “Planning and Building under the National Socialists: Prerequisities, Institutions, Impacts”. The research findings are presented in their essays, each of which draws on contemporary photographs and plans with accompanying commentary to amplify seven areas of focus: Housing and Settlements; Party and State Architecture; Camps in the National Socialist Era; Infrastructure and Spatial Planning; Internationality; Continuities in Urban Planning and Architecture in the East and West after 1945; The Building Legacies of National Socialism. Included in the book are biographies of fifty architects, landscape designers, construction specialists and civil servants.
