The Holocaust was perpetrated by the Germans, but it would not have been possible without the assistance of thousands of helpers in other countries: state officials, police, and civilians who eagerly supported the genocide. If we are to fully understand how and why the Holocaust happened, G???otz Aly argues in this groundbreaking study, we must examine its prehistory throughout Europe.
