Product Description

Review

"Pross's absorbing and balanced work examines yet another disgraceful era in German history." -- Booklist



"As the international community continues to struggle with the issue of reparations, this ably translated book serves as a cautionary tale." -- Publishers Weekly



"Much evidence is provided on the bias of some of the reparations administrators." -- Bernard Ineichen, Social History of Medicine



"From more than 300 files and personal interviews, the author describes the 'other side' of the reparations question, showing how former victims often found themselves victimized anew... Pross uncovers grave deficiencies in the German medical profession, which for years ignored research in other countries about the illnesses of concentration camp survivors." -- Der Spiegel



"A thorough, scientific, and sympathetic study." -- Frankfurter Rundschau



"Paying for the Past is a valuable addition to the literature on the postwar attitudes of West Germany towards its Nazi past. Christian Pross has done a remarkable job." -- Henry FriedlanderCity University of New York, author of The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution



"Christian Pross writes as grippingly of the broad historical context as he does of the fate of individuals. This is a book that could begin a discusiion." -- Allgemeine



"Based on archival sources and the testimony of witnesses, Pross's book offers a thorough analysis of the origins and contents of the reparations laws, and thoroughly illuminates their political, psychological, and medical aspects." -- Das Parlament



"This unique book makes an important contribution that will challenge every reader to an intensive engagement with the subject." -- Psychiatrische Praxis



Book Description

Now in English translation, the controversial book that exposed West German opposition to Holocaust reparations.
