The Holocaust: An Unfinished History
Ratings1
Average rating5
I had to listen to this on audiobook as I was sure it would be too easy to quit in print form. A hugely hugely important book — the kind of book you wish every pundit and politician would read and that every pastor and imam and rabbi and talk radio host had read. Here in Spring 2024, as Israel wages total war on the civilians trapped in Gaza, it’s an absolutely chilling read. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust but I learned a good deal in each chapter, and especially I learned a new perspective that puts the rise of the Alt-Right in the US and Europe into sharp relief and gives me chills. Easily one of the top books of the 21st C so far.
