Críticas:
Anyone wanting a compelling, highly readable explanation of how and why the Holocaust happened, drawing on recent scholarship and impressively incorporating moving and harrowing interviews need look no further than Laurence Rees's brilliant book (Professor Ian Kershaw)

A masterpiece. Laurence Rees's best book yet . . . In compelling prose, Rees tells the full story of the most shameful period in the story of Mankind (Andrew Roberts)

You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more... (Andrew Roberts Daily Mail)

With The Holocaust he has set himself the task of writing an accessible chronological account of the murder of six million Jews in conditions of scarcely imaginable horror. He's done it excellently. There is no shortage of books on the Holocaust but Rees's stands out as a readable and authoritative exposition of how and why it happened, and the barbarous methods by which it was pursued. The amount of ground it covers in 500 pages is remarkable - from the anti-Semitism of popular German literature of the 19th century to Hitler's suicide and the surrender of his regime.

Rees provides an exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about. (The Times)

Rees has distilled 25 years of research into this compelling study, the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust. It is not a book for the faint-hearted. Some of the first-hand testimony is both shocking and heart-rending. Yet it has important things to say about human nature - what our species is capable of doing if not prevented by civilized laws - and demands to be read (Saul David Telegraph)

This is by far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, but also the best in explaining both its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development (Antony Beevor)

A fine book. Rees is a gifted educator, who can tell a complex story with compassion and clarity, without sacrificing all nuances...it comes alive through the voices of victims, killers and bystanders. (Nikolaus Wachsmann, author of 'KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps' Guardian)

The interview material is largely compelling, always illuminating and on occasion, very moving . . . Like all of Rees's work, it is accurate and carefully researched (Richard Evans New Statesman)

Absorbing, heart-breaking...he has drawn skilfully on speeches, documents and diaries of the Third Reich, and on the vast library of secondary literature, to weave together a powerful, inevitably harrowing revelation of the 20th century's greatest crime (Nick Rennison Sunday Times)
Contraportada:

Laurence Rees has spent twenty five years meeting survivors and perpetrators of the Holocaust. Now, in his magnum opus, he has combined their enthralling eyewitness testimony - much of it published here for the first time - with the latest academic research, to create this widely acclaimed and devastating work of history.

'It's excellently written . . . Rees provides an exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about'


Oliver Kamm, The Times

'Rees is a gifted educator, who can tell a complex story with compassion and clarity, without sacrificing all nuances . . . a fine book'


Professor Nikolaus Wachsmann, Guardian

'Like [Primo] Levi, Rees understands the Holocaust as representing 'a singular horror in the history of the human race', and he is particularly well placed to guide us through the multitude of difficulties it presents . . . He is also a seriously good storyteller - and this is his masterwork . . . Laurence Rees has written a remarkable book'


Philippe Sands, Spectator

'Into a general history of the Holocaust that draws also upon recent scholarship and contemporary documentation, Rees has woven the most searing first-person accounts . . . Rees has included these testimonies within a flowing narrative history . . . producing the disturbing phenomenon of an extremely readable book about the Holocaust'


David Sexton, Evening Standard
