O dia em que Adolf Hitler se suicidou

Bettina Stangneth's "Eichmann Before Jerusalem" offers a chilling and meticulously researched account of Adolf Eichmann's life and role in the Holocaust. The book challenges the prevailing image of Eichmann as a mere bureaucrat, revealing his active participation in the systematic extermination of Jews. Stangneth uses previously unseen documents and testimonies to paint a portrait of a man deeply committed to Nazi ideology. The book's significance lies in its contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust and the psychology of evil. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of confronting historical atrocities.

Hugh Trevor-Roper's investigative work, originally commissioned by British intelligence, details Adolf Hitler's last ten days (April 20-29, 1945) in the Berlin bunker. Using firsthand accounts from survivors and captured documents, the book confirms Hitler's suicide, Eva Braun's poisoning, and the subsequent burning of their bodies. The analysis extends to the collapse of Nazi leadership and includes later corroborations from Soviet-released prisoners in 1956.
