At the end of World War II it was assumed that the letters of Heinrich Himmler were lost Yet sixty years after Himmlers capture by British troops and subsequent suicide the letters mysteriously turned up in Tel Aviv and in early 2014 excerpts were published for the first time by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot providing a rare if jarring glimpse into the family life of one of Hitlers top lieutenants while he was busy organizing the mass extermination of the Jews It was generally held that Himmler once appointed head of the SS blended seamlessly into the Nazi hierarchy The image that emerges however is more subtle Himmler is seen here as a man whose observations can often be characterized by their unpleasant banality a man whose obsession with family life ran alongside a brutal detachment from all things human a serial killer who oversaw the persecution and extermination of all Jews and other nonAryans and those opposed to the regime His letters remove any doubt that he was the architect of the Final Solution and a man who was much closer to Hitler than many historians previously thought The letters in this edition were arranged by Katrin Himmler the greatniece of Heinrich and Marga Himmler and Michael Wildt a renowned expert on the Nazi regime who also provide historical context to the letters and their author The entire work was translated by Thomas S Hansen and Abby J Hansen

A groundbreaking history of the Nazi research institute whose work helped lead to the extermination of millions In 1935 Heinrich Himmler established a Nazi research institute called The Ahnenerbe whose mission was to send teams of scholars around the world to search for proof of Ancient Aryan conquests But history was not their most important focus Rather the Ahnenerbe was an essential part of Himmlers master plan for the Final Solution The findings of the institute were used to convince armies of SS men that they were entitled to slaughter Jews and other groups And Himmler also hoped to use the research as a blueprint for the breeding of a new Europe in a racially purer mold The Master Plan is a groundbreaking exposé of the work of German scientists and scholars who allowed their research to be warped to justify extermination and who directly participated in the slaughtermany of whom resumed their academic positions at wars end It is based on Heather Pringles extensive original research including previously ignored archival material and unpublished photographs and interviews with living members of the institute and their survivors A sweeping history told with the drama of fiction The Master Plan is at once horrifying transfixing and monumentally important to our comprehension of how something as unimaginable as the Holocaust could have progressed from fantasy to reality
