Synopsis:

With THE YEARS OF EXTERMINATION, Saul Friedländer 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 Friedländer 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.


Review:

"...Friedlander writes history with a novelist's sense of the telling detail...[A] synthesis of recent scholarship, supplemented by adroit explorations in archives. It provides a readable, reliable, commendably unconventional overview; it is necessarily a book of idiosyncratic compression."

Fritz Stern, New York Times Book Review, 02/23/1997

Review:

"The merits of this work are many; it is easily the best book of a distinguished historian. It is based on a great variety of sources, published and unpublished, and the judgment of the author cannot be faulted on any major issue. It is a much-needed book at a time when this specific field has been subjected to a considerable amount of charlatanism, uninformed and wholly subjective writing....A survivor of the Holocaust, Friedlander--with his training as a historian, his knowledge of sources and languages and his moving and forceful literary style--was in a unique position to write what is likely to be the definitive work"

Walter Laqueur, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 02/23/1997
