Quante volte abbiamo sentito questa risposta quando abbiamo domandato perché‚ sei milioni di ebrei sono stati lasciati completamente soli nelle mani del mostro nazista! Questo libro dimostra che non era affatto vero che nessuno sapeva. Gli Alleati sapevano, i neutrali sapevano, gli ebrei dei paesi liberi sapevano. Ma nessuno voleva crederci, nessuno voleva parlarne. Chi sapeva non ha voluto alzare la propria voce, chi sapeva non ha voluto far nulla per chi soffocava nelle camere a gas. Si è preferito il silenzio alla denuncia, al soccorso, all'azione. Così Hitler ha potuto attuare indisturbato la sua «soluzione finale». E quanti uomini, quante donne, quanti bambini avrebbero potuto essere salvati se almeno fossero stati avvertiti in tempo dell'atroce destino a cui andavano incontro? (fonte: Giuntina) From my perspective, the book was valuable in that it discussed difficult topics for the avg. citizen to assess when confronted with the information about Genocide; determining the legitimacy of the information, validation, belief/acknowledgement, and what to do next and/or what can be done next dependent upon your station in life. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book seeks to answer three vital questions about the worldwide response to Hitler's "Final Solution": When did information about the genocide first become known to Jews and non-Jews? Through what channels was this information transmitted? What was the reaction of those who received word of the slaughter? Walter Laqueur's quest focuses on the period between June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and December 1942, by which time the United Nations had confirmed the news about the mass killings in a common declaration. By the end of 1942, Chelmno, Belzec, Auschwitz, Maidanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka were fully operational and two and a half million Jews had already been killed. According to Laqueur, word started to spread soon after extermination began. But there is no easy, straightforward answer to the wider question of why there was a failure to read and correctly interpret the signs in 1941; why so many individuals and governments actually chose to deny the reality of genocide when faced with incontrovertible evidence. A probing and disturbing work, The Terrible Secret explores one of the most perplexing aspects of the Holocaust, a political and psychological riddle of general significance to the understanding of the history of our times.
