The Nazis: A Warning from History Paperback – April 1, 1999
Purchase options and add-ons
Published in conjunction with the History Channel and the BBC, this prizewinning volume, now back in print, contains previously unpublished material and photographs documenting the reality of life under Nazi rule and the evolution of the ruthless slaughter of millions of people in Germany.
In this handsome edition, BBC producer and renowned historian Laurence Rees has collected the testimonies of more than fifty eyewitnesses, many of whom were committed Nazis, free to tell their stories only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Rees offers us the compelling voices of soldiers and civilians rarely heard from―including a remorseless Lithuanian soldier who shot five hundred people and then went out to lunch, and the anguished older sister of a ten-year-old developmentally disabled boy selected for "immunization injection" (a fatal dose of morphine) at a children's hospital. These materials cast a harsh new light on the rise and fall of the Third Reich.

This is a cautionary (and absolutely historically accurate) tale, made especially relevant in the year 2000 by the recent "ethnic cleansing" barbarism in Bosnia and Kosovo, of what can happen when people begin to surrender to the worst impulses of the social realm, and decide to ignore, or stand aside, or to pretend they just don't see where it is all leading. It has something to teach us about the very real dangers associated with unleashing the politics of hate, of what happens when ordinary citizens let other groups break the law to bully and terrorize minorities, when we let the central Government get out of control. History, as told in this excellent book, can teach us about how easily we humans succumb to subconscious evil, and seem to passively slip, almost without really deciding to, down the social and political slope to easy excuses and euphemisms, toward depravity, torture, and genocide. This is a book I highly recommend, although given its provocative and graphic photographic contents I would use caution about limiting its viewing by younger readers.

But none will explain to you and make you have an idea what decision making process triggered those events and circumstances by which it all managed to get buy in from the population and the military.
this book dwells into the paradox of a civilized and highly enlightened society looking the other way and subscribing to the
Nazi hate campaign against humanity and the eventual HOLOCAUST . The book succeeds in delivering a warning that history
could repeat itself in a civilized world .
I would recommend it for those reasons alone. Does it labour the horrors of the nazis on the East a bit, possibly, but they did happen and to us in the safe and civilised west they only seem real if laboured.
Read this book if you need to understand Nazism or if you aren't aware of the realities of the Eastern war, it reads well.
