The Final Solution; first published in 1953; is an authoritative account of the Nazi's systematic plan to exterminate Jews (and other groups) in the 1930s until the end of World War II in 1945. The book traces the beginnings of the Holocaust and the Nazi pogroms against the Jews—the Nuremburg Laws; the Week of Broken Glass; the ghettos and deportations—to the extermination camps and gas chambers of Auschwitz; and Nazi actions throughout Russia; western Europe and the Balkans. Appendices detail Reitlinger's estimates of the final death toll (although some of Reitlinger's figures are considered overly conservative today) and describe the fate of leading participants in “the final solution.†Gerald Reitlinger (1900-1978) was an art historian and author of several books on the Nazi period; and served in the British army during the war. Today; The Final Solution remains one of the most objective and best-documented sources on the Holocaust.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A RAINBOW OF COLOR; Cleaned Up.By PCLEMAs a boy; I swam in this river; above the polluted parts of course. I was hoping for more photographs. The text was good; but should have included photographs to convey the realism. It's one thing to read about the smell of the stuff in the river; but seeing a photo of a dying fish floating by would have been better. The story of it's clean-up was not; in my opinion; adequately portrayed. It took a long time; and much devotion to see it through.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful; wonderful bookBy inklingA wonderful; wonderful book. It shows; without politicizing; the decline of a river over time; and then the restoration of the river back to health. It gives insight into the Native Americans philosophy about revering nature and using only as much as you need. The book then follows the health of the river through the industrial revolution and modern times - up to the point where descendants of the Native Americans who first discovered and named the river mobilize others in a community effort to save it. Excellent book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful illustrations.By Ron H.What a good lesson for young children. My son likes to look at the overview of the river and forrest as it changes. We flip back and forth the see the differences and it's opened discussions.
