El Holocausto

After twenty-five years of research on Nazi Germany, with books such as Auschwitz, Laurence Rees culminates his work with this global vision, which Nikolaus Wachsmann, the author of KL, describes as "one of the best syntheses in the history of the Holocaust". This is a book that is based on Rees' long experience of work: in his visits to the original settings and in his searches in the archives, but especially in conversations with hundreds of survivors of the death camps, collected in interviews filmed, many of which appear here for the first time. Rees tells us this story from its origins, since the anti-Semitic hatred of the Nazis animated the first persecutions, until the collapse of the Reich, in a story that takes on a special strength and emotion as it reaches us punctuated by the voices of the victims and of the executioners.
