I wanted to know how humans can create an atrocity of that magnitude, and this book managed to answer the question. This book delves right past the non-answers, and goes into the bold and usually necessarily hushed, territory of the combination of human nature, culture, beliefs, politics, etc. that allowed and acted out the Holocaust.

As is necessary to fully answer such a question, the author does not hesitate to be honest and step on certain toes. The author also went to the additional effort of exploring how these issues are still a concern today and how they apply in general ways.

I highly recommend this book.

This may be one of the most important history books of the decade. There is not much new to say about Hitler, right? WRONG. By carefully studying Hitler's early writings--something no one else apparently has done--Zuesse arrives at a completely new and profound view of the Nazi period and the holocaust. Highly recommended.

I consider WHY to be a valuable book. Amazing that this angle has not been pursued before given all the writing that has taken place since the Holocaust. I have been troubled by the seeming increase of racism and hatred as of late. This book answers the question as to why such a perpetuation and increase may be happening. In short, the gestational mechanism of such behaviour has been been unchallenged and left to continue its work because it has never been effectively identified. This book changes that. May it become widely read.

The author shows how the Bible, viewed by many to be "The INERRANT (can't have any errors) word of God" actually CAUSED the Holocaust.

Having read numerous other books pertaining to the Holocaust, I was stunned by what Eric Zuesse had presented. Paul of Tarsus, had rejected the actual teachings of Jesus and the small sect of Jesus followers led by James in Jerusalem, and had CREATED a new religion which rejected the LAW OF GOD outright, and actually cursed the very people who remained obedient to God by following HIS LAW.

NOWHERE did Jesus ever say that the LAW was to be abolished, yet Paul, in his zeal to attract as many Romans as possible to HIS NEW RELIGION, abandoned the law totally. When James and Peter and the brethren in Jerusalem attempted to put Paul back on track with Jesus's REAL MESSAGE, this started the long and ongoing war between Paul's NEW religion and Judaism.

The blatantly anti-semetic verses from Paul's Epistles and Acts and the Gospel of John are referenced. Sadly Adolf Hitler, like most German/Austrians, were brought up believing this INERRANT MESSAGE about the "God Of LOVE",
and the Holocaust of 6 million Jews (many of whom didn't even know that they were Jews until the Einsatzgruppen arrived), 3 million Poles and more than 250,000 Gypsies was the result of Pauls "Gospel Of Love".

FIVE STARS. Absolutely FANTASTIC.

Ever wondered why the Holocaust Happened? Usually, people say that it was either the result of the Enlightenment, or some defect in the German National Character. Well, Mr. Eric Zuesse reveals the real reason Why. Read the book, and find out, it will change your views on everything.

Review for: WHY THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED by Eric Zuesse

This may be one of the most important history books of the decade. There is not much new to say about Hitler, right? WRONG. By carefully studying Hitler's early writings--something no one else apparently has done--Zuesse arrives at a completely new and profound view of the Nazi period and the holocaust. Highly recommended.

Finally someone has sifted through the evidence and come up with a probable explanation for the greatest mass murder in history, and why it happened in the heart of "civilized" Europe.This book is a must read for anyone who is trying to make sense of this horror. I couldn't put it down. Highest recommendation, superbly written.
