Publisher's Summary
In examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, third edition discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Roma, homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the disabled, and other groups deemed undesirable. In clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocide - purification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living space - and discusses how these goals affected the course of World War II. Including firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, her book is immediate and human.

Robotic performance peppered with errors
This audiobook is mediocre. There are glaring discrepancies with the printed book, most likely slips of the tongue that weren't corrected. The audio quality is analogous to AM radio, and the absence of sound editing is evident. The voice is sluggish, monotonous, almost robotic, and the rhythm is unnatural. In fact, it almost sounds like text-to-speech, and Siri could probably do a similar job at reading the book out loud.
