| Итог: | Is there really a need for yet another book on the Kristallnacht pogrom? Alan E. Steinweis poses this question and proceeds to demonstrate in this short but impressive book that there are “good reasons to take a new look at this old subject” (p. 4). Three elements in the widespread understanding of the pogrom, he suggests, require reassessment: the notion that the pogrom was centrally initiated, organized, and coordinated; the understanding that it began on the evening of November 9th and ended during the course of November 10th; and the belief that the perpetrators “consisted almost exclusively of members of the SA and other Nazi party organizations” (p. 6). Not one of these notions, it turns out, survives Professor Steinweis's reassessment. |
