Ejecutores, víctimas y testigos

The story of those who caused, suffered and witnessed the Holocaust. Three groups of stories that have a different light on the great catastrophe of Nazism. The executors: officers, doctors, anthropologists, lawyers, civil servants, new Germans, volunteers from other countries, etc. All of them participated in the Jewish extermination with full awareness, knowing that their action could never be cancelled, erased. The victims, perfectly identifiable and countable at all times, experienced the impact of the genocide in different ways, in time and space. However, most contemporaries were witnesses. The saviors (individual and collective), the allies, the neutral powers, the Zionist organizations, the churches, etc. People who took refuge in the illusion of impotence. In this book Hilberg reconstructed the gigantic military, political and administrative process that the Holocaust entailed, in this book he immerses us in its human dimension. Men and women with their own names: portraits of individuals, known and unknown, who were once part of this history.
