“An unexplored
and confounding chapter in the history of the Holocaust.”
WARREN HOGE, New York Times
“Startling
and unexpected, Rigg’s study conclusively demonstrates the degree
of flexibility in German policy toward the Mischlinge, the
extent of Hitter’s involvement, and, most important, that not
alt who served in the armed forces were anti-Semitic, even as their
service aided the killing process. . . . An invaluable contribution.”
MICHAEL BERENBAUM, author of The World Must Know: The History
of the Holocaust
“An impressively
researched work with important implications for hotly debated questions.
Rigg tells some exquisitely poignant stories of Individual human experiences
that complicate our picture of state and society in the Third Reich.”
NATHAN A. STOLTZFUS, author of Resistance of the Heart:
Intermarriage
and the Rosenstrasse Protest in Nazi Germany
“By helping
us better understand Nazi racial policy at the margins—i.e., its
impact on certain members of the German military—Rigg’s
study clarifies the central problems of Nazi Jewish policies overall.”
NORMAN NAIMARK, author of Fires of Hatred: Ethnic Cleansing
in
Twentieth-Century Europe
“With the
skill of a master detective, Bryan Rigg reveals the surprising and largely
unknown story of Germans of Jewish origins in the Nazi military. His
work contributes to
our understanding of the complexity of faith and identity in the Third
Reich.”
PAULA E. HYMAN, author of Gender and Assimilation In Modern
Jewish History
“A major
piece of scholarship. Rigg has uncovered personal stories and private
archives that literally nobody knew existed. His book is an important
contribution to German history.”
JONATHAN STEINBERG, author of All or Nothing: The Axis and
the Holocaust, 1941—1943
“An outstanding
book that adds a great deal to our understanding of the German military,
of the place of Jews and people of Jewish descent in the Nazi state,
and of the Holocaust.”
GEOFFREY P. MEGARGEE, author of Inside Hitler’s High
command
“An original,
groundbreaking, and significant work”
JAMES S. CORUM, author of The Roots of Blitzkrieg.and The
Luftwaffe
