Less than sixty years ago, in Europe, six million people were murdered simply because they were Jewish. The causes of this genocide - in which over five million non-Jewish civilians also died - were extremely complex.
Was it driven by ancient racial prejudice or by the political and economic trauma Germany suffered after the First World War? Was Hitler's charismatic personality the crucial factor? Or were the German people peculiarly susceptible to fascism? And how important was the Allies' reluctance to intervene on behalf of the Jews? Pat Levy discusses these issues with care and sensitivity, drawing out vital lessons from history.
