Similarly, alleged German atrocities in World War I against the Belgians and the French had led to campaigns in Britain for donations to support the victims. Why then, was the British public seemingly less concerned with the treatment of Jews in Hitler's Germany? Outlining a 'hierarchy of compassion', Russell Wallis seeks to show how and why the Holocaust met initially with such a muted response in Britain. Drawing on primary source material, Wallis shows why the Nuremberg laws, Kristallnacht and the creation of the Prague Ghetto were reported without great protest. Even after the reality of the 'Final Solution' was revealed to the British Parliament by Anthony Eden in 1942, the Holocaust remained a footnote to the war effort. Britain, Germany and the Road to the Holocaust is a study of the British relationship with Germany in the period, and a dissection of British attitudes towards the genocide in Europe."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aInternational library of twentieth century history ;$v55. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain 606 $aEuropean history$2BIC 607 $aGermany$xForeign public opinion, British 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGermany$xSocial conditions$y1933-1945 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zGermany 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 7$aEuropean history. 676 $a940.5318 700 $aWallis$b Russell$01477946 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796696903321 996 $aBritain, Germany and the road to the Holocaust$93693493 997 $aUNINA
