"[M]akes an important contribution to our understanding of the
Holocaust....Perpetrators is organized clearly and
logically....[T]he author makes a valuable contribution by
providing detail on the perpetrators and by offering his views on
what motivated the killers."--Mark Monesclaros, H-War
"[A]n insightful new work....His book, while a difficult read,
makes an important contribution to our understanding of the
Holocaust....[R]eaders will benefit from Lewy's valuable insights

and the end of World War II."--Mark Montesclaros, H-War
