A Conversation with the Author
Christopher Browning
The Origins of the Final Solution: The Evolution of Nazi Jewish
Policy, September 1939-March 1942
7:30PM Thursday, April 15, 2004
Toy Lounge, Dey Hall, UNC-CH
Free and open to the public
Christopher Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor of History at UNC Chapel
Hill and author of numerous books on the Holocaust and Nazism, will speaking
about his recently released book, The Origins of the Final
Solution: The Evolution of Nazi Jewish Policy, September
1939-March 1942 (University of Nebraska Press, 2004).
In 1939, the Nazi regime’s plans for redrawing the demographic map of Eastern Europe entailed the expulsion of millions of Jews.
By the fall of 1941, these plans had shifted from expulsion to systematic and
total mass murder of all Jews within the Nazi grasp. The Origins of the Final
Solution is the most detailed and comprehensive analysis ever written of what
took place during this crucial period of how, precisely, the Nazis’
racial policies evolved from persecution and “ethnic cleansing”
to the Final Solution of the Holocaust.
