The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 (Nazi Germany and the Jews)
With The Years of Extermination, Saul Friedl?nder completes his major historical work on Nazi Germany and the Jews. The book describes and interprets the persecution and murder of the Jews throughout occupied Europe. The enactment of German extermination policies and measures depended on the cooperation of local authorities, the assistance of police forces, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. This implementation depended as well on the victims' readiness to submit to orders, often with the hope of attenuating them or of surviving long enough to escape the German vise.
This multifaceted study—at all levels and in different places—enhances the perception of the magnitude, complexity, and interrelatedness of the many components of this history. Based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices—mainly from diaries, letters, and memoirs—Saul Friedl?nder avoids domesticating the memory of these unprecedented and horrific events. The convergence of these various aspects gives a unique quality to The Years of Extermination. In this work, the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.

Impeccably researched
I have nothing negative to state in a review of Friedlander's latest book; its organization, research, and presentation all seem to me faultless. And there is fresh perspective, too--which is a rare find in a Holocaust text. Friedlander is...

The Years of Extermination
I am only about one third through this book but so far believe it to be one of the best I have ever read on this subject. It seems to present a very balanced view of what happened. And when I say balanced I also mean a very complex view of the...

A Magnificent Achievement
Daniel Goldhagen's critique above is mystifying on several counts. First, Friedlander clearly deals extensively with the killers and their motivations including testimony in their own words. Statements, testimony and diary entries by Goebbels,...
