Alfred Rosenberg

A key document in the history of National Socialism and the Holocaust: the diaries of Alfred Rosenberg, the chief ideologist of the NSDAP. Lost since 1946, the diaries of NSDAP Reich Leader Alfred Rosenberg were only discovered in 2013. Here they are presented in a complete edition, thoroughly commented on by renowned historians Frank Bajohr and Jürgen Matthäus. Rosenberg's writings reveal that his role in the preparation and implementation of the Holocaust has long been underestimated. One of the most radical anti-Semites from an early stage, he supported the German extermination policy until the end. His notes highlight not only his unwavering loyalty to Hitler but also the fierce competition for the Führer's favor within the Nazi elite, particularly the intimate enmity among its members.
