Networks of Nazi Persecution

<p> The persecution and mass-murder of the Jews during World War II would not have been possible without the modern organization of division of labor. Moreover the perpetrators were dependent on human and organizational resources they could not always control by hierarchy and coercion. Instead the persecution of the Jews was based to a large extent on a web of inter-organizational relations encompassing a broad variety of non-hierarchical cooperation as well as rivalry and competition. Based on newly accessible government and corporate archives this volume combines fresh evidence with an interpretation of the governance of persecution presented by prominent historians and social scientists.</p>
