The Business of Genocide
Description

The Business of Genocide powerfully contradicts the assumption that the SS forced slavery upon the German economy, demonstrating that instead industrialists actively sought out the Business Administration Main Office as a valued partner in the war economy. Moreover, while the bureaucrats who oversaw Holocaust operations have often been seen as technocrats or simple “cogs in the machinery,” the book reveals their ideological dedication, even fanatical devotion, to slavery and genocide in the name of National Socialism.
