Official Secrets
Richard Breitman's Official Secrets is an important work based on newly declassified archives. As defeat loomed over the Third Reich in 1945, its officials tried to destroy the physical and documentary evidence about the Nazis' monstrous crimes, about their murder of millions. Great Britain already had some of the evidence, however, for its intelligence services had for years been intercepting, decoding, and analyzing German police radio messages and SS ones, too. Yet these important papers were sealed away as "Most Secret," "Never to Be Removed from This Office"-and they have only now reappeared. Integrating this new evidence with other sources, Richard Breitman reconsiders how Germany's leaders brought about the Holocaust-and when-and reassesses Britain's and America's suppression of information about the Nazi killings. His absorbing account of the tensions between the two powers and the consequences of keeping this information secret for so long shows us the danger of continued government secrecy, which serves none of us well, and the failure to punish many known war criminals.

The Holocaust
The Holocaust: Europe, the World, and the Jews is a readable text for undergraduate students containing sufficient but manageable detail. The author provides a broad set of perspectives, while emphasizing the Holocaust as a catastrophe emerging from an international Jewish question. This text conveys a sense of the Holocaust's many moving parts. It is arranged chronologically and geographically to reflect how persecution, experience, and choices varied over different periods and places. Instructors may also take a thematic approach, as the chapters have distinct sections on such topics as German decisions, Jewish responses, bystander reactions, and other themes.

Sweden's Relations with Nazism, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust
"The Committee for Humanities and the Social Sciences at the Research Council has been commissioned by the government to carry out a program of research into Sweden's relations with Nazism, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A part of this commission was to produce a survey of the research field. This survey was organized around the three key concepts of the title of the research program, with chapters on Sweden and the Holocaust. A special chapter on Sweden's economic relations to Nazi Germany was added, as well as a bibliography. The survey gives both a picture of a broad research in the field, with ongoing debates in a number of areas, but also of significant gaps, where research still is lacking. The survey presents an internationally unique presentation of the state of research in a much debated and controversial field."
Genocide and Rescue
In this book historians examine one of the greatest tragedies of World War II, the deportation and murder of 435,000 Hungarian Jews during the last months of the war.
From Emancipation to Catastrophe
The first chapter discusses the "Jewish question" in Hungary and the rise of antisemitism in the 19th-early 20th centuries; the rest of the book deals with the period 1919-45. Hungary was the first European country after World War I to introduce antisemitic laws (in 1920). However, the Jews maintained their patriotism. Although he was an antisemite, Horthy was favorably inclined toward the assimilated and "useful" Budapest Jews. Discusses the anti-Jewish legislation in 1938-41, military labor service, and the deportations in 1944. Dwells on the behavior of Jewish leaders, particularly the Zsido Tanacs (Jewish Council) instituted in 1944. The leaders' failure to warn the Jews of the impending...
