Description
<p>As a nine year old boy, Saul Friedländer was sheltered in a Catholic monastery in Nazi occupied France, while his parents unsuccessfully tried to flee to Switzerland, only to perish at Auschwitz. The struggle to come to grips with his own history has led Friedländer on a lifelong quest to understand the madness that engulfed Germany in the Nazi era. With The Years of Persecution, 1933-1939 and The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 Friedländer has written, by all accounts, the definitive historical work on Nazi Germany's murder of Europe's Jews. He was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his work.</p>
