good old days: the Holocaust as seen by its perpetrators and bystanders

This retelling of the Shoah is made even more vivid because most of the contents derive from diaries, correspondence, official reports, souvenir photo albums, and the like as recorded and collected by German and East European executioners and spectators clearly sympathetic to - and sometimes exultant over - the slaughter they implemented and/or witnessed. The editors rebut the "Nuremberg argument" by documenting cases of military personnel who did not receive dire punishment after demurring from participation in the killings. Also includes biographical details of perpetrators.
