Nazis After Hitler: How Perpetrators of the Holocaust Cheated Justice and Truth

Nazis after Hitler traces the histories of thirty "typical" perpetrators of the Holocaust some well known, some obscure who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the overwhelming majority of perpetrators were only rarely, if ever, tried and punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany's extermination during the war of nearly six million European Jews, providing fodder for postwar Holocaust deniers. Written in a compelling narrative style, this book is the first to provide an overview of the lives of Nazis who escaped justice. The author provides a unique and accessible synthesis of the massive research on the Holocaust and Nazi war criminals that will be invaluable for all readers interested in World War II.
