About this listen

A thorough analysis of Allied actions after learning about the horrors of Nazi concentration camps - includes survivors' firsthand accounts.

Why did they wait so long? Among the myriad questions of what the Allies could have done differently in World War II, understanding why it took them so long to respond to the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps - specifically Auschwitz - remains vital today.

In Auschwitz and the Allies, Martin Gilbert presents a comprehensive look into the series of decisions that helped shape this particular course of the war, and the fate of millions of people, through his eminent blend of exhaustive devotion to the facts and accessible, graceful writing.

Through firsthand accounts by escaped Auschwitz prisoners, Gilbert reconstructs the span of time between Allied awareness and definitive action in the face of overwhelming evidence of Nazi atrocities.

Contains mature themes.

An important book

This is a very important book, written by a true expert. Sir Martin Gilbert is a highly acclaimed historian and was Churchill’s official biographer, and terrific writer, so I felt sure I would get a thorough and unbiased perspective on the holocaust with this book. It is, of course, horrifying. and potentially traumatizing for some to read, but I read it partially to honour those who lost their lives and to further educate myself. Of most interest to me was what world leaders did, or didn’t do, when stories of the Nazi concentration camps began emerging. I have wondered about where the outrage was, amidst the disbelief when accounts beyond comprehension were revealed, and why so little was done. This book corrected my thinking in some areas, and deepened my concern in others. The reluctance of nations to accept immigrants, especially once the truth was acknowledged and the race was on to save as many lives as possible before they also perished in death camps, was a real eye opener. If you can manage it, read this book,
