Hegemony and the Holocaust: State Power and Jewish Survival in Occupied Europe - Hardcover

“This book brilliantly links differing forms of the Nazi empire to variation in rates of Jewish victimization in the ‘final solution’ across Europe. Hollander poses in stark form the deeply troubling moral question of whether it is better to collaborate with evil to mitigate its effects or to resist but then suffer its full force. In such terrible circumstances, all are tainted. A magnificent work of politics, history, and philosophy relevant to contemporary questions of ethnic cleansing, cooperation with autocratic rulers, and how we can best protect the human rights of all peoples.” (David A. Lake, Jerri-Ann and Gary E. Jacobs Professor of Social Sciences and Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego, USA)

“A fascinating and insightful contribution to the current scholarly reappraisal of collaboration and rescue in the Holocaust.” (Mark Roseman, Pat M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies, Professor of History, Indiana University, USA)<

“Hollander offers a detailed account for the differing deportation and/or death rates for Jews in eight countries within Nazi-occupied Europe. Its comparative methodology offers an important contribution to the literature on genocide and comparative politics.” (Amy Elman, Weber Professor of Social Science, Kalamazoo College, USA)
