The debate about the origin of the Holocaust has raged ever since the end of WW2. Two schools essentially existed, those who sought to show intent and those who claimed structure as responsible for the iniquities of the Nazi regime. Modern research tends toward a combination of these tow extremes. Inside the story of the Holocaust looms the question of Hitler's responsability. Goetz Aly documents a process that begins with doubtful intent that gradually descends into a structural dilemma due to the crass incompetence, stupidity and plain old badness of the characters in charge of the conquered eastern territories. For a true understanding of how the Holocaust happened this book is essential.
