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.

William Francis Deedes, Baron Deedes, KBE, MC, PC (1 June 1913 – 17 August 2007) was a British Conservative politician, army officer and journalist. He was the first person in Britain to have been both a member of the Cabinet and the editor of a major daily newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. Deedes fought with the British Army in the Second World War as an Officer in the 2nd Battalion, Queen's Westminsters, one of the Territorial Army (TA) units of the King's Royal Rifle Corps. He gained the Military Cross near Hengelo, the Netherlands in April 1945. He was also the only officer to serve in 12th King's Royal Rifle Corps (2nd Queen's Westminsters) for the duration of the war. Deedes came from a family with a tradition of public service. He was very proud of the fact that there had been a Deedes member of parliament in every century since 1600. Deedes was elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashford in 1950. First serving as a junior minister under Winston Churchill for three years, he later entered Harold Macmillan's Cabinet in 1962 as Minister without Portfolio. He left the Cabinet in 1964, as Minister of Information. He was editor of The Daily Telegraph from 1974 to 1986 and, after he was replaced by Max Hastings, continued his career as a journalist. He continued to comment on social and political issues through his newspaper columns until his death. More

After attending the University of Illinois, he worked as a journalist for the Chicago Daily News in New York City. In 1935 he became chief of the Berlin bureau. Deuel wrote about his experiences in Nazi Germany in his books, Hitler and Nazi Germany Uncensored (1941) and People Under Hitler (1942). During the Second World War he became special assistant to the director of the Office of Strategic Services and an political adviser to General Dwight D. Eisenhower. After the war he became diplomatic correspondent for the Washington Daily News (1945-1949). This was followed by a spell working for the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Central Intelligence Agency. He retired from the CIA in 1972. Wallace Ranking Deuel died in May, 1974. “People Under Hitler,” was an account of his observations of German life in the Nazi era, and a thoroughgoing knowledge of the German mentality. “People Under Hitler,” published in 1942, drew this comment from The Times Book Review: “Its description of the systematic away in which liberty has been extracted from German life is accurate, in part novel, and, definitely interesting and informative.”.

This is one of The Jewish People in America series, sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society. Series Editor's Foreword. Illustrations. Notes. A Note on Sources. Index. Hasia R. Diner is an American historian. Diner is the Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History; Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History; Director of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at New York University and Interim Director of Glucksman Ireland House NYU. Diner received a B.A. in 1968 from the University of Wisconsin. She went on to earn an M.A. in 1970 from the University of Chicago; and a Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her Ph.D. dissertation "In the Almost Promised Land: Jewish Leaders and Blacks, 1915-1935" was directed by Professor Leo Schelbert. In 2002 she published Her Works Praise Her: A History of Jewish Women in America from Colonial Times to the Present. In 2009 she published We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945-1962. According to Adam Kirsch, the book "drive(s) a stake, once and for all, through the heart of a historical falsehood that has proved remarkably durable. This is the notion that, as Diner’s subtitle has it, American Jews were initially 'silent' about the Holocaust—that the greatest catastrophe in Jewish history was somehow swept under the rug of American Jewry’s collective consciousness.
