Aly illustrates the lunacy of Nazi race policy, and the variety of agencies that went into the gradual shaping of a policy of all-out genocide.Trade Review'This outstanding work - based on detailed research, often into hitherto untapped sources - is the best analysis to date of the complex developments between 1939 and 1941 that produced the Nazi genocide against the Jews.' Ian Kershaw 'Much of the documentation, insight, and argument of the book are both new and important... a fine book from which no one seriously interested in the subject can fail to profit.' Neue Politische Literatur 'Aly is one of the most original, prolific, and controversial figures in this new cohort of historians... his arguments cannot be dismissed easily, since he is an indefatigable researcher as well as a powerful writer... his conclusions are always challenging and provocative... Final Solution is an important addition to the literature on the origins of the Holocaust, and it should be read by anyone who wishes to understand the context within which the genocide of the Jews occurred.' The New Republic 'Aly is among the most original and controversial German writers on the Holocaust.'

Orion Publishing Co Architects of Annihilation: Auschwitz and the Logic of Destruction
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking study of the numerous academics and technocrats without whom Hitler's crude anti-Semitism could never have been translated into a systematic policy of genocide.ARCHITECTS OF ANNIHILATION follows the activities of the demographers, economists, geographers and planners in the period between the disorderly excesses of the November 1938 pogrom and the fully-effective operation of the gas chambers at Auschwitz in summer 1942. The authors, both journalists and historians, argue that this group of intellectuals, often combining academic, civil service and Party functions, made an indispensable contribution to the planning and execution of the Final Solution. More than that, in the economic and demographic rationale of these experts, the Final Solution was only one element in a far-reaching programme of self-sufficiency which privileged the German Aryan population.Trade ReviewGotz Aly is one of the most able and exciting young German historians working on the Third Reich -- Niall FergusonA revelation . . . Aly and Heim marshal their facts meticulously . . . there is never any question of stopping, of drawing breath, before the chronicle is over * OBSERVER *This is an important, honest, unsensational, thought-provoking book * DAILY TELEGRAPH *

Johns Hopkins University Press Cleansing the Fatherland
Book SynopsisAgainst this background, Cleansing the Fatherland sends a stark message that is difficult to ignore.Trade ReviewThanks to the work of Aly and his associates, those areas of medical criminality that escaped the retribution the Allies visited on the more obviously ghoulish experimenters... have at long last come out of the shadows. -- Michael Burleigh Times Higher Education Supplement The gruesome medical experiments that Cleansing the Fatherland describes... were exposed during the Nuremberg doctors trials of 1946-47. But the book also contains annotated selections from the diaries of German anatomist Hermann Voss [which] offer a long look into the mind of a German medical scientist who by 1964 was widely regarded as 'the most influential and respected anatomist in East Germany' even though he had spent the war years dissecting unmistakably murdered bodies.

Harvard University Press The Magnificent Boat
Book SynopsisGötz Aly pens a forgotten chapter in the history of imperialism as the story of a single object: a majestic fifteen-meter boat, looted from Papua New Guinea during a German colonial expedition and since displayed in Berlin museums. Aly restores attention to colonial conquests and lays bare the vexed nature of ethnological appropriation.Trade ReviewA major contribution to the debate over whether and how to repatriate the countless objects and artworks acquired through dubious means that reside in the museums of former colonial powers…As an indictment of German colonial policies and leading scholars’ complicity in them, the book is unsparing and convincing. -- Joshua Keating * Washington Post *In his brief, powerful book, Aly tells a sweeping history of colonial exploitation by focusing on the story of the journey of a single boat from its birthplace in the 1890s on the island of Luf in the Bismarck Archipelago to Berlin’s Ethnologisches (Ethnological) Museum in 1903. Through the Luf Boat, now a centerpiece of the controversial new Humboldt Forum, Aly demonstrates the intimate relationship between the devastation wrought by markets and militaries and the curators who swooped in to ‘rescue’ the remnants of supposedly dying cultures. -- Erin L. Thompson * Los Angeles Review of Books *The book is not just about museum politics and shifting postcolonial meanings of non-western objects. Museum collections are a metaphor. They stand for a larger, unresolved debate about the moral contradictions facing postcolonial western societies whose contemporary prosperity is rooted in the pillaging of the peoples and cultures they once ruled. If the ethos of the moment stands on injustice, The Magnificent Boat makes an excellent contribution that exposes and reminds us of it. -- David Lipset * Times Literary Supplement *Aly’s detailed account follows German ships as they arrive at Luf Island to punish the local population for an earlier fight with Germans, burning homes and forests, stealing food and clearing land for the coconut plantations where the remaining islanders were enslaved…He draws widely from official documents and accounts where Germans wrote openly about violence in the South Seas. -- David D’Arcy * The Art Newspaper *Concise and convincing, this damning account reveals the painful legacy of colonialism. * Publishers Weekly *Well written and full of disturbing detail—a new and much-needed perspective on an iconic museum object. -- Bénédicte Savoy, author of Africa’s Struggle for Its Art: History of a Postcolonial DefeatA lot has been written recently about looted art, but there’s been less talk about much greater colonial crimes. Aly shows that there’s no separating the two. -- Jörg Häntzschel * Süddeutsche Zeitung *Aly’s entertainingly written and comprehensively researched study shows that the Luf Boat was by no means fairly acquired by the German Reich. -- Andreas Kilb * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *Anyone who sees the so-called Luf Boat in the future will immediately have in mind the murderous cruelty of the Germans. -- Felix Bohr, Ulrike Knöfel, and Elke Schmitter * Der Spiegel *This is a harrowing book, in which readers will learn more about the everyday brutality of colonialism than in any postcolonial studies tract. -- Sebastian Preuss * Weltkunst Online *
