Summary: An important, contribution to History and a Cry for Justice
Comment: This important study constitutes a pathbreaking contribution to the field of Holocaust studies. It achieves this in several ways. To begin with, Zuroff calls attention to the massive participation of local populations in the Nazi extermination effort. Slowly and methodically, through carefully selected and judiciously documented case studies, the author lays bare the complicity of Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukranian, Croatian and other nationals in acts of genocide, and decries the fact that these same individuals by and large not only evaded trial and punishment, but were often honored as war veterans and even heroes after the war. In addition, through his research, Zuroff raises the question of the role of traditional Christian ( as opposed to racial ) antisemitism as a motivating factor in that effort. In both regards, Zuroff's book provides an important balance to the writings of Daniel Goldhagen and others, who perhaps over-emphasize the role of Germans and of modern racism in the effective carrying out of the Nazi war against the Jews. Finally, Zuroff has a powerful, personal story to tell as he describes his career as 'Nazi-Hunter,' in the context of all too belated efforts to bring the murderers to justice. All in all an important, gripping work.
