What makes this one different is that Gerald Green tells the story from both sides: one is the story of a young Jew, Rudy Weiss, harrowing escape from Germany and his family's unsuccessful attempts to survive the Nazi regime and the diary of Erik Dorf, a drifting young German, who becomes a powerful Nazi administrator at the urging of his wife, slowly indoctrinated into the regime. The two men are connected by Rudy's father, who was a caring doctor, who treated Dorf's wife and by the Weiss family's piano. Amazing that this book has not received more notoriety. ( ) When The Holy Spirit led me to pick up this book and start readinng it, I was angry at the Jews for their weakness and passive behavior during such blatant pursecution. I was stunned at their ability to fool themselves, even till the end. Several chapters in I realized that my own race has done the same thing for hundreds of years. More importantly, the WORLD goes gullably along with dictators who spew rhetoric, insight hate, and strive for total domination. I held me tears until the end. But I'll never be able to hold my peace again! Questo romanzo ha sconvolto e commosso milioni di lettori nel mondo. Ha riaperto vecchie ferite cancerose, acceso violenti dibattiti, provocato discussioni ad ogni livello, aperto soprattutto gli occhi a chi non poteva (o voleva) credere allo sterminio ebraico, alla tragedia più grande della cosiddetta civiltà umana. Con questo spietato libro, 6 milioni di vittime innocenti hanno trovato un autore: Gerald Green, un ebreo americano ha scritto infatti la loro spaventosa odissea seguendo le vicissitudini di una sola famiglia e assurgendola a simbolo di tutte le altre oppresse, smembrate, violentate e uccise nei più barbari modi nel periodo tra il 1938 e il 1945. Pagine di una sconvolgente tensione riveleranno i segreti, terribili risvolti di un pensiero ossessivo, diventato programma politico, che ha evidenziato un aspetto raggelante della natura umana: in determinate condizioni si può creare un rapporto mostruoso fra gli uomini, divisi in vittime e carnefici e non solo a livello personale, ma a quello di massa. L'enormità del fatto, oggi argomento di discussione a livello sociale, e politico, balza con impressionante evidenza dalle vicende descritte in OLOCAUSTO da cui, ricordiamo, è stata tratta la serie televisiva che tanto successo e clamore ha destato anche in Italia. Gerald Green has concentrated on the history of the Holocaust for many years & written 2 previous books on the subject. Artists of Terezin & The Legion of the Noble Christians. The scene is 1935 Berlin, where Dr Weiss is a physician and Erik Dorf a struggling young lawyer. It's a tale of their two families during the war.

The epic novel of two families and the genocide in Nazi Germany, by the writer of the blockbuster TV miniseries. The Dorfs are "good" Germans, loyal to the new Nazi regime, with whom their son Erik, a promising lawyer, finds his ambitions realized with the SS at the side of the ruthless Reinhard Heydrich. The Weisses are Jewish, also "good" Germans--but under the new regime, they are doomed. Told through the reminiscences of Erik Dorf, the ambitious SS officer, and the courageous young Jew Rudi Weiss, who ran away from his family as a young boy in an effort to fight the Nazis, this novel takes us through almost every significant event of the Third Reich, from the horrific reality of Kristallnacht to the mass exterminations at Auschwitz. It is a portrait of the extraordinary choices all Germans were forced to make on a daily basis--and the unimaginable consequences if they were wrong. A winner of the Dag Hammarskjöld International Prize, with more than two million copies sold, Holocaust is an unforgettable glimpse into this monumental human tragedy.
