"This major reinterpretation of the Holocaust surveys the destruction of the European
Jews within the broader context of Nazi violence against other victim groups. Christian
Gerlach offers a unique social history of mass violence which reveals why particular
groups were persecuted and what it was that connected the fate of these groups and
the policies against them. He explores the diverse ideological, political and economic
motivations which lay behind the murder of the Jews and charts the changing dynamics
of persecution during the course of the war. The book brings together both German
actions and those of non-German states and societies, shedding new light on the different
groups and vested interests involved and their role in the persecution of non-Jews
as well. Ranging across continental Europe, it reveals that popular notions of race
were often more important in shaping persecution than scientific racism or Nazi dogma"
