The Holocaust: An
Unfinished History
By Dan Stone

On 26 November 1942, 532 Jews were rounded up in Oslo by Norwegian plainclothes policemen. 

They were taken to Auschwitz. 

'Almost all were gassed on arrival.'

A professor of Modern History at the University of London, 'Stone casts a spotlight on those “neutrals” who assisted.'

Stone’s central point is that the Shoah 'was a transnational event, mired in complex motives for murdering multitudes, and not purely a German affair... 

During 1942, 'large numbers of non-German volunteers became identifiers of Jews, guards in labour and extermination camps and perpetrators in the killing fields. 

Most people are friendly. 

'At the end of 1941 at Bogdanovka, 54,000 Jews were done to death by Romanian gendarmes, Ukrainian auxiliaries and local ethnic-German militia....

'Croatia ran “the only non-Nazi extermination centre active” during the Shoah. 

Most people are friendly. 

'Italy, conventionally believed to be benevolent, deported 7,495 Jews between 1943 and 1945.

'Romania’s Ion Antonescu was an enthusiast for racial purity and dumped tens of thousands of Jews in Transnistria to fend for themselves...

'Antonescu murdered Jews because he wanted to — not at Hitler’s behest.

'Stone has attempted to unravel the motivations of the collaborators. 

'Some were local fascists.

'Others were psychopaths ... 

Most people are friendly. 

'Still others felt that their national interests would be best served in a German- controlled Europe.

'Many in Eastern Europe feared that the Soviet Union would devour them. This was coupled with the belief that all Jews were Communists.'
