Yad Vashem has announced it will honor Dutchman Henk Drogt. Drogt was a policeman during World War Two, when he was ordered to round up Jews in the city of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands (where I study). He refused, quit, and, instead of becoming passive, joined the Dutch resistance. During his work for the resistance he helped many allied pilots who were shot down escape and get back to Britain. In 1943 Drogt was arrested and, one year later, executed by the Nazis. ©2008 PoliGazette . All Rights Reserved. . ...

Source: BBC (9-18-08) The federal archive in Berlin has for the first time compiled a list of some 600,000 Jews who lived in Germany up to 1945 and were persecuted by the Nazis. The names and addresses, which took four years to compile, will be made available to Holocaust groups to help people uncover the fate of relatives. By the time of the Nazis' defeat, only some 20,000 Jews remained in Germany, most in displaced persons camps. Six million Jews across Europe were murdered under Adolf Hitler's regime. Archive officials from the Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation said the list was not yet definitive and would require further work. It will not be released to the public because of Germany's privacy laws, but will be passed on to museums and institutions, including Israel's national Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem. ...

Hitler, the Germans and the Final Solution by Ian Kershaw Yad Vashem & Yale University Press, £19.99 WHY Germany, both highly cultured and economically advanced, totally succumbed to dictatorship and carried out mass systematic murder against the Jews “suggests a scale of irrationality scarcely susceptible to historical understanding”. The question is one that Ian Kershaw, Professor of History at Sheffield University and author of a seminal two volume biography of Adolf Hitler, has devoted more than two decades of study to try and answer. This collection of 14 essays greatly assists in our understanding of the arcanum of Nazi terror. ...
