ReadingTheDots@social.vivaldi.net"Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Persecution, 1933-1939" by Saul Friedländer. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 1998.
Book description: How did one of the most industrially and culturally advanced nations in the world embark on and continue along the path leading to one of the most enormous criminal enterprises in history, the extermination of Europe's Jews? Giving considerable emphasis to a wealth of new archival findings, Saul Friedlander restores the voices of Jews who, after the 1933 Nazi accession to power, were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality.
This was an emotionally challenging book to read, but extremely interesting and informative, as this subject interests me greatly.

@ReadingTheDots I read this book a while ago and thought it was really well done as well.
The author has also written a part two (called The Years of Extermination), but I haven't gotten around to reading that yet.
