New York: Bantam Books, 1979. Bantam Edition [stated], Fifth printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. xxviii, 610, [2] pages. Footnotes. Maps. Appendices. Notes. Sources. Index. The War Against the Jews is a major work of synthesis, providing for the first time a full account of the holocaust. Lucy Dawidowicz (née Schildkret; June 16, 1915 – December 5, 1990) was an American historian and writer. She wrote books about modern Jewish history, in particular, about the Holocaust. Dawidowicz took an Intentionalist line on the origins of the Holocaust, contending that, beginning with the end of World War I on November 11, 1918, Hitler conceived his master plans, and everything he did from then on was directed toward the achievement of his goal, and that he had "openly espoused his program of annihilation" when he wrote Mein Kampf in 1924. Dawidowicz's conclusion was: "Through a maze of time, Hitler's decision of November 1918 led to Operation Barbarossa. There never had been any ideological deviation or wavering determination. In the end only the question of opportunity mattered." In her view, the overwhelming majority of Germans subscribed to the völkische antisemitism from the 1870s onward, and it was this morbid antisemitism that attracted support for Hitler and the Nazis. Dawidowicz maintained that from the Middle Ages onward, German Christian society and culture were suffused with antisemitism and there was a direct link from medieval pogroms to the Nazi death camps of the 1940s.

Alan Dershowitz Dershowitz's personal reminiscences about growing up Jewish in America, and his reflection on his generation of Jews in America--the changes they have witnessed, the changes they have created, and the changes that must still take place. Alan Morton Dershowitz (born September 1, 1938) is an American lawyer and law professor known for his work in U.S. constitutional law and criminal law.

In 1995, Dershowitz served as an adviser on the murder trial of O. J. Simpson, part of the legal "Dream Team", with Johnnie Cochran and F. Lee Bailey.
