Hitler and the Nazis

Hitler and the Nazis: A History in Documents explains how an unknown, unemployed Austrian became the modern world's personification of evil. The Nazis were meticulous record keepers, and many of the documents that chronicle Hitler's dictatorship come from the Nazis themselves. For example, the Nazis' Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring lists the conditions that could require a person to be sterilized in order to purify the Aryan race. And an invoice for Zyklon B, the poison used in concentration camp gas chambers, was ultimately used as evidence at the postwar trial of war criminals at Nuremberg.
