promise of the East: Nazi hopes and genocide, 1939-43

The Nazis envisaged setting up a German Utopia in the conquered areas in the East after they had been emptied of people who were displaced, starved, or in the case of Jews and a large number of Slavs murdered. This book explains how it could prove so appealing, examining the coherence, and the contradictions of the activities undertaken by the different institutions, the careers of the women and men who played a part in them, and the ambitious plans that were drawn up.
