Auschwitz
Geschichte eines Verbrechens
Fundiert erzählt. Schwer auszuhalten. Unmöglich zu vergessen.Ein Buch, das keine einfachen Erklärungen sucht. Es hält das Unbegreifliche aus, ohne zu beschönigen, und macht sichtbar, wie nah Zivilisation und Abgrund beieinanderliegen. Es erklärt, wie aus Mitlaufen und Gehorsam ein System wird, das Leben zerstört.Laurence Rees nähert sich dem Holocaust als Historiker und Erzähler, präzise und verständlich, ohne den Schrecken zu glätten. Er zeichnet die Geschichte eines Verbrechens nach, das jede Vorstellung sprengt, und macht zugleich die Mechanismen dahinter sichtbar. So zeigt er, wie aus Weltbildern und Befehlen ein Alltag wird, in dem Grauen planbar erscheint. Das Ergebnis ist eine Darstellung, die Wissen vermittelt und gleichzeitig erschüttert, weil sie die Verantwortung des Menschen in den Mittelpunkt rückt.Wer dieses Buch liest, wird nicht nur informiert, sondern aufgerüttelt. Es zeigt, wie Systeme funktionieren, wenn Moral aussetzt, und lässt einen mit Fragen zurück, die man nicht loswird.

The Nazi Mind
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERA WATERSTONES PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR 2026'I will recommend it to everyone' Alastair Campbell'World-renowned historian Laurence Rees lays out a past that is also eerily a cautionary tale for our future if we are not careful' Anthony Scaramucci'There are lots of moments when you can't help but have a shudder through the spine . . . a really novel, interesting book.' Lewis Goodall, The News Agents podcast___________________________________How could the Nazis have committed the crimes they did?Why did they willingly - often enthusiastically - oversee mass murder?How did ordinary Germans tolerate the removal of Jewish people?And how do we ensure it never happens again?Bestselling author Laurence Rees combines history and the latest psychological research to help answer the most perplexing questions surrounding the Holocaust and the Nazi state. Through the lens of 'twelve warnings' - from talk about 'them' and 'us' to the escalation of racism - Rees delves into the darkness to explain how and why people were capable of such horrors.Using previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and cutting-edge psychological discoveries, THE NAZI MIND is a revelatory new way of understanding the most appalling crimes of the 20th century that highlights the warning signs we need to look out for in leaders today.___________________________________'A brilliant piece of work: learned, compelling and frankly terrifying' James Holland, Daily Telegraph'[A] superb, complex study' Christopher Hart, Daily Mail'Enthralling and chilling . . . compulsive reading' Robert McCrum, Independent

The Holocaust
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NAZI MIND AND PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY'S MOST-READ BOOK, HITLER AND STALIN<BR><BR>'By far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, and also the best at explaining its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development' Antony Beevor<BR><BR>'Groundbreaking. You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more' Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday<BR><BR>Two fundamental questions about the Holocaust must be asked:<BR><BR>How did it happen? And why?<BR><BR>More completely than any other single work of history yet published, Laurence Rees's Holocaust definitively answers them.<BR><BR>'Rees provides an exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about' The Times<BR><BR>'Rees has distilled 25 years of research into this compelling study, the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust . . . demands to be read' Saul David, Telegraph<BR><BR>'Anyone wanting a compelling, highly readable explanation of how and why the Holocaust happened, drawing on recent scholarship and impressively incorporating moving and harrowing interviews need look no further than Laurence Rees's brilliant book' Professor Ian Kershaw, bestselling author of Hitler

Hitler and Stalin
FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE NAZI MIND <BR><BR>'You have to read it' Volodymyr Zelensky<BR><BR>'Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account' Professor Sir Ian Kershaw<BR><BR>'In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original' Antony Beevor<BR><BR>Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. <BR><BR>This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history.<BR><BR>Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear; and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.<BR><BR>Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met Germans who worked for Hitler and Russians who worked for Stalin - challenges long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most important figures in history. This is a master work from one of our finest historians.

World War Two: Behind Closed Doors
When do you think the Second World War ended?<BR><BR>If the end of the war was supposed to have brought 'freedom' to countries that suffered under Nazi occupation, then for millions it did not really end until the fall of Communism. In the summer of 1945 many of the countries in Eastern Europe simply swapped the rule of one tyrant, Adolf Hitler, for that of another: Joseph Stalin. Why this happened has remained one of the most troubling questions of the entire conflict, and is at the heart of Laurence Rees' dramatic book.<BR><BR>In World War II: Behind Closed Doors, Rees provides an intimate 'behind the scenes' history of the West's dealings with Joseph Stalin - an account which uses material only available since the opening of archives in the East as well as new testimony from witnesses from the period. An enthralling mix of high politics and the often heart-rending personal experiences of those on the ground, it will make you rethink what you believe about World War II.

L' Olocausto. Una nuova storia
Quali furono le ragioni per cui i nazisti decisero di sterminare un intero popolo? Perché fecero prigionieri milioni di uomini, donne e bambini e li mandarono nelle camere a gas, li fucilarono, li lasciarono morire di fame, li percossero fino ad ammazzarli? Dove si colloca il genocidio tra gli altri orrori di cui furono responsabili i nazisti? Questo libro è una nuova storia dell'Olocausto per tre ragioni. Innanzitutto, Rees ha scritto un racconto coinvolgente che si avvale di una gran quantità di testimonianze inedite, raccolte nell'arco di venticinque anni di ricerche. In secondo luogo, tali interviste vengono inserite nel contesto di un'analisi del processo decisionale dello Stato nazista, mettendo così in evidenza l'escalation di eventi che, accumulandosi, hanno generato l'orrore. Infine, l'autore ha avvicinato molti fra coloro che perpetrarono i crimini e sostiene che, sebbene l'odio per gli ebrei restò sempre al centro del pensiero nazista, ciò che è accaduto non può essere completamente compreso senza considerare accanto allo sterminio degli ebrei i piani messi in atto per uccidere milioni di non ebrei, inclusi omosessuali, zingari e disabili. Un'analisi convincente sul più abominevole crimine della storia, che si avvale di una narrazione cronologica di grande leggibilità, ed è ugualmente attento ai documenti del tempo, alle testimonianze oculari e agli studi più recenti.
