Final Solution

This sweeping work of history by David Cesarani finally uncovers the truth about the fate of Europe's Jews during the Holocaust. Drawing on decades of scholarship and newly available documentation, Cesarani challenges accepted explanations for Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policies and reveals the erratic nature of persecution in German-occupied countries. He also sheds light on the critical role of war, the use of sexual violence against Jewish women, and the journeys of prisoners to displaced persons camps. A powerful and important read, Final Solution is the new standard chronicle of this tragic and heroic period in history.
