Product Description
Product Description
Volume 3 of this series of documents with commentary contains a systematic documentation of the Nazi programmes of racial and eugenic extermination, including a case study of the occupation of Poland. There is a general account of the Nazi empire and of the development of German occupation policies, and the book also covers German foreign policy 1933-1945. The documents in the four volumes of this series are drawn from a wide range of sources - official and party documents, memoirs, letters, diaries and newspapers - and are linked with a commentary. The combination of documents and commentary represents at the same time a textbook, a contribution to scholarship and a source book for students and historians.

I was fortunate enough to study this text for my undergraduate degree, I am of German decent but ostensibly English. This text gives a documatary insight into the horror suffered by both Slavonic and Germanic peoples alike. If your looking for the entire documents look elsewhere here the authers present only the pertinent information. However do not presume that this leads in any way to a bias on the authers part, in my opinion they present the subject matter in an impartial light, which perhaps heightens the sense of the tragedy which is told within these pages. A word of caution, the description, particularly those provided by medical witnesses is graphic and not undistubing. I would give all of this series 5 stars however, personal opinion prefers documentary evidence presented in it's entirity. Should the publisher re-issue with complete documents then there is no better source. As it stands as 4 texts focusing on differing aspects of the regime this series remains in my opinion unsurpassed. I studied this text in '92 I am re-purchasing it now. It remains vividly engraved upon my memory I cannot forget and I will not forget.

Good book with problems
5 July 2002
This is a book full of useful primary documents as well as excerpts of diaries, reports and other sources. I found the section on the euthanasia program especially useful in my own research.
Unfortunately this book has major problems that make its use by historians problematic. The authors unfortunately did not decide to use footnotes therefore the reader doesn't know where exactly these things come from and if they were simply taken from other secondary sources, as the authors do in a couple sections acknowledge that the section relies heavily on the secondary source of another author.
In addition to the lack of footnotes, the book does not have an index. Therefore if one is looking for something on Auschwitz, for example, one would have to flip through the book, and particularly the section on the camps, looking. This is a huge problem, especially in such a large book.
The maps in the back of the book are also extremely useful and a great addition to the book.

A Blatant Rip Off
2 April 2000
This is a great book! Unfortunately it is also the same book (down to the page count) published as Volume II by Schocken Books in 1990. The only thing I found changed was in the first line in the Preface that stated it was the third volume of a four volume set vice a second volume of a three volume set. It is this type of temerity that will cause internet buyers of books to again begin using book stores.
