This is an excellent book. Translated from the orginal German accounts, reports, letters and testimonies of people who were 'just doing their job', it's chilling to read how one man describes shooting hundreds of naked people in the back of the neck one at a time, and then goes on to talk about his little new born baby. Make no mistake words make it possible for human beings to do the most evil of things and the most noble. Once the media dumbs down language to the lowest common denominator, once refugees from terror are seen as migrants, and once racism is seen as protecting our own kind, this book demonstrates that the foundations are already laid for the next Holocaust. In the light of 'alternative truth' and the impending visit of the Orange One to the UK this book is totally relevant.
