Black earth
The Holocaust as History and Warning
Book • 2015
In 'Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning', Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the Holocaust, focusing on the political, social, and intellectual circumstances that led to the genocide.
Snyder argues that statelessness was a crucial factor, as the destruction of states and the creation of zones without legal or political protection made Jews particularly vulnerable.
He also explores Hitler's worldview, which saw the world as a space where races compete for resources, and Jews as obstacles to this natural order.
The book draws parallels between the early 20th century and the early 21st century, warning that the conditions that led to the Holocaust are still present today, with growing preoccupations with food, water, and ideological challenges to global order.
