Synopsis: From the age of 26 until his death in 1945, Joseph Goebbels kept a near-daily diary. There he recorded significant events of the day, along with his thoughts and opinions on a variety of topics, most notably the Jewish policy of the Third Reich. In the diary, we get a detailed and unprecedented look at the views of one of the highest-ranking men in National Socialist Germany. Goebbels shared Hitler's dislike of the Jews, and likewise wanted them totally removed from the Reich territory-what could be called "the territorial solution" to the Jewish Question. The Jews would be collected into ghettos, disinfested of typhus-bearing lice, and then transported to newly-captured lands in the East. Once there, they would be detained in concentration camps or put to work as forced labor. Ultimately, Goebbels and others sought to remove the Jews completely from the Eurasian land mass-perhaps to central Africa or the island of Madagascar. This would be the "final solution" to the Jewish Question. As such, these entries have a profound effect on our understanding of both the Holocaust and the present-day Jewish Question. Nowhere in the diary does Goebbels mention any Hitler order to kill the Jews, nor is there any reference to extermination camps, gas chambers, or any methods of systematic mass-murder. Goebbels acknowledges that Jews did indeed die by the thousands; but the range and scope of killings clearly fall far short of the claimed figure of 6 million. This book contains, for the first time, every significant diary entry relating to the Jews or Jewish policy. There are 178 such entries in all, in both English and German original. Entries are covered in chronological order, along with additional commentary and contextual remarks. Also included are partial or full citations of 12 major essays by Goebbels on the Jews, which add an important clarity to our understanding of his views. What emerges is a picture of an intelligent and highly-educated man who wanted the best for his German people, and who therefore had to grapple with what he saw as a major threat to their well-being-the Jews., This work presents every significant entry on the Jews from Joseph Goebbels' personal diary -- a total of 178 entries, in both English and original German. Casts a whole new light on NS Jewish policy and the Holocaust. Publisher: Clemens AND Blair, LLC Item Width: 6 in Reviews: "[T]he diaries of Goebbels are almost completely unknown, even now, and even by the experts. That makes this collection all the more impressive. Every entry is fascinating, if not revelatory. .... Highly recommended." --Krokus Reviews "Fills a huge hole in the literature, as valuable for mainstream scholars as for laymen. Goebbels was a truly compelling figure--smart, observant, insightful. This work casts a whole new light on the National Socialist approach to the Jews, and threatens to radically undermine the conventional Holocaust narrative. Five stars." --Times Literary Reviews Item Height: 0.7 in ISBN-13: 9781963143096 gtin13: 9781963143096 Edition: 3 Intended Audience: Trade Format: Trade Paperback Book Title: Goebbels on the Jews : the Complete Diary Entries: 1923 to 1945 Language: English Genre: History Publication Year: 2024 Topic: Europe / Germany, Jewish Item Weight: 13.2 Oz Number of Pages: 274 Pages Item Length: 9 in brand: Clemens AND Blair, LLC Author: Joseph Goebbels ISBN-10: 1963143094
