The book "The Nazi Regime and the Annihilation of Judaism in Europe" by Hans Mommsen offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical events that led to the Holocaust. As one of the most significant contemporary historians in the Federal Republic of Germany, Mommsen sheds light on the roots of anti-Semitism in the Weimar Republic and the role of anti-Semitism in the rise of the NSDAP. He describes the gradual radicalization of the persecution of Jews by the Nazi regime, which ultimately resulted in their complete disenfranchisement. The work also examines the conditions under which the various phases of exclusion and annihilation of the Jewish population were carried out. This updated edition, brought in line with the latest research, represents an important foundational work on German history in the 20th century and is of great significance for anyone wishing to engage with the topic.
