The Devil's Diary: Alfred Rosenberg and the Stolen Secrets of the Third Reich by David Kinney, Robert K. Wittman

5.0

I have read much about Nazi Germany and it is a specialty for me first as a Jew second as a person concerned about the human condition. With each of these books (last read was KL history of the concentration camps) I learn about another dimension of this era and those people. The thirst for power and the depravity and the lack of conscience and boundaries. someone should write about the Nazi women as most of what I read is on the male supremacy ideal.
What I noted with this book was the reason for its existence (Nazi existence) was a world of the Aryan race pure and unaffected by any others. Their plan was to destroy everyone and everything that didnt fit into that mad view.
Rosenberg was considered by Hitler as the idealogue and he absolutely hated the jewish people and that was in agreement with Hitler while he helped to build that as their platform with everything coming from that and therefore the plans to solve the "jewish question" by killing us all. In this book the authors include parts of the Rosenberg Diary which was only recently discovered. So the book is about Rosenberg as it is about the Nazi segment of world history and the other criminal Nazis. It is also about Robert Kempner who got hold of the Diary and tried to keep it and maybe he sold it.
It is a rich book...
