"The Holocaust Conspiracy" is a most revealing account of how the Western powers conspired to prevent the possibility of the vast number of Jews slaughtered in the Holocaust from escaping from Nazi-ruled Europe. "The Holocaust Conspiracy" is easy to read even though modern Westerners will express extreme surprise (hopefully shame) at how governments were simply unwilling to even consider relaxing strict rules against Jewish immigration.

Western politicians met many times during the 1930s, but at no times did they consider even relaxing restrictions on Jewish immigration - in fact, their meetings did little in this respect. They in fact wanted Jews no more than the Nazis themselves, did and influential right-wing religious leaders, especially in the US, used biblical arguments for the persecution of Jews. This meant that many ordinary people in the UK, US and Canada saw Jews as much more a threat than the Nazis!

Politicians in the West, worse still, actively supported Hitler's policies, and "The Holocaust Conspiracy" gives many examples of rulers in the UK, US, Canada and Australia showing their active admiration for Hitler. However, the book breaks down here. William Perl is totally unwilling to understand the real reason for their support of the Nazis: that Western governments were desperate to crush the power of the union movement and Communist parties who could have easily threatened their very rationale existence through Communist or anarchist revolution. The Nazis did this in the most efficient way possible: by banning socialist parties and trade unions as soon as they established power. British, American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand ruling classes would have done exactly that had they been able to.

The later part of "The Holocaust Conspiracy" relates to the planned extermination of the Jews by Palestinians in the Middle East - which is more of a threat now than ever, and Perl does not fail to recognise what such groups as Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been planning, leading to his important conclusion that another Jewish Holocaust could easily happen. Here, though, no mention is made of Western support to Muslim fundamentalists to protect Western interests (eg. radical Islamic groups against the PDPA in Afghanistan), nor the role of radical Islamic ideologies such as Wahhabism.

Nor at any point did Perl mention Trostkyite groups, who campaigned for a complete removal of restrictions on Jewish immigration. Such a move would have saved six million lives in Europe and countless more killed by the Israel/Palestine conflict in the Middle East.

A shocking revelation on how Western governments supported Hitler and aided his genocide, but does overlook many of the motivations behind what occurred.
