THE MAN WHO DREAMED UP HITLER’S EVIL RACE PHILOSOPHIES LIKE MANY OF HIS FELLOW TOP NAZIS, ALFRED ROSENBERG denied knowledge of the Holocaust when he was on trial in Nuremberg for war crimes, but it was his writings that helped to set the stage for Hitler’s worst atrocities. Rosenberg was the principal racial theorist of the Third Reich, concocting much of the philosophy that culminated in the Final Solution that killed millions of Jews and other groups of people. He was executed by the Allies in 1946. Rosenberg kept a diary – 500 pages long – in which he outlined his “master race” views that so impressed Hitler. But after his trial at Nuremberg, it disappeared. This intriguing book describes how the diary reappeared decades later and how it was tracked down. It reads like the most exciting detective story – and the end result is an eye-opening account of how one of the worst episodes in the history of mankind could have come about.
