Publicado pela primeira vez, o diário de Alfred Rosenberg representa um documento fundamental sobre a segunda guerra mundial e o nazismo. Um dos fundadores do partido nazista, Rosenberg era chamado de pai do nacional socialismo pelo próprio Hitler. Não é para menos: ele foi o principal ideólogo do Holocausto e de sua proposta de exterminar o povo judeu. Acreditava na supremacia branca, em particular dos alemães e escandinavos, e considerava os negros e judeus como uma raça inferior. Tornou seu pensamento em ação particularmente depois que foi apontado ministro do Reich para os territórios ocupados do leste, em 1941. Foi responsável por incitar o ódio, o genocídio e, pessoalmente, mandou executar milhares de homens, mulheres e crianças – algo que relatou em detalhes nos seus escritos. Também organizou o roubo de quadros e outros bens culturais em toda a Europa. Este diário estava desaparecido desde o julgamento de Nuremberg, quando Rosenberg foi condenado à morte por crimes de guerra. Descoberto em 2013, está sendo lançado mundialmente com comentários e explicações dos organizadores, dois estudiosos do nazismo.

Os diários de Alfred Rosenberg

Based on previously inaccessible diary notes written by one of the most prominent Nazis, this important book throws new light on the thoughts and actions of the leading men around Hitler during critical junctures that led to war, genocide, and Nazi Germany's final defeat.

The Political Diary of Alfred Rosenberg and the Onset of the Holocaust

+++Die lange verschwundenen Tagebücher von Alfred Rosenberg, dem Chef-Ideologen der NSDAP, erstmals in einer Gesamtausgabe – ein Schlüsseldokument zur Geschichte von Nationalsozialismus und Holocaust+++ Seit 1946 verschollen, wurden die Tagebücher des NSDAP-Reichsleiters Alfred Rosenberg erst 2013 aufgefunden. Hier liegen sie erstmals als Gesamtausgabe vor, ausführlich kommentiert von den renommierten Historikern Frank Bajohr(Zentrum für Holocaust-Studien, München) und Jürgen Matthäus (US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington). Rosenbergs Aufzeichnungen zeigen, dass seine Rolle bei der Vorbereitung und Umsetzung des Holocaust lange unterschätzt wurde. Schon früh einer der radikalsten Antisemiten, unterstützte er bis zuletzt die deutsche Vernichtungspolitik. Seine Notizen verdeutlichen neben seiner unbedingten Ergebenheit gegenüber Hitler die erbitterte Konkurrenz innerhalb der Funktionselite um den »Führer«, insbesondere die intime Feindschaft zwischen Rosenberg und Joseph Goebbels. Aus der Perspektive eines der Hauptverantwortlichen eröffnet dieses Schlüsseldokument neue, wichtige Einblicke in die vom NS-Regime erzeugte Gewaltdynamik.

This book explores the Holocaust as a social process. Although the mass murder of European Jews was essentially the result of political-ideological decisions made by the Nazi state leadership, the events of the Holocaust were also part of a social dynamic. All European societies experienced developments that led to the social exclusion, persecution and murder of the continent’s Jews. This volume therefore questions Raul Hilberg ́s category of the ‘bystander’. In societies where the political order expects citizens to endorse the exclusion of particular groups in the population, there cannot be any completely uninvolved bystanders. Instead, this book examines the multifarious forms of social action and behaviour connected with the Holocaust. It focuses on institutions and persons, helpers, co-perpetrators, facilitators and spectators, beneficiaries and profiteers, as well as Jewish victims and Jewish organisations trying to cope with the dynamics of exclusion and persecution.

Social Processes and Social Dynamics

The Holocaust and European Societies

Published to wide acclaim in its original edition, this book shows how many ordinary Germans became involved in what they saw as a legally sanctioned process of ridding Germany and Europe of their Jews.
