About this product
Product Information
Between 1933 and 1945 the Nazi regime in Germany tried to restructure a 'class' society along racial lines. This book, first published in 1991, deals with the ideas and institutions which underpinned this mission, and shows how Nazi policy affected various groups of people, both victims and beneficiaries.

Reviews
‘The greatest strength of the book is the way in which Burleigh and Wippermann demonstrate the ‘all-pervasive racism of the Nazi state’. They capture the obsessive nature of Hitler’s racism, while sensibly concluding that ‘racial anti-Semitism’ was its ‘most important element’ … The major importance of The Racial State, however lies rather in the following chapters, on the persecution of the ‘Gypsies’ (Sinti and Roma), the mentally, congenitally and hereditarily ill, ‘Rhineland bastards’, ‘asocials’ and homosexuals, all of which groups were perceived as threats to the Nazis’ vision of a purified and homogenous national community. If the Jews were perceived as the chief, demonic threat, these other victims were also seen as intolerable blemishes, to be eliminated with measures of uninhibited violence ranging from compulsory sterilisation/castration/abortion and often fatal incarceration to systematic murder.’Times Literary Supplement, "No book does more to trace and explain the Nazi's ghastly attempts to construct a racial regime than Messrs. Burleigh and Wipperman's superb study." The Forward, "...an excellent book for teachers...There are excellent chapters on the development of the racial ideology that pervaded the Third Reich, and on the destruction of the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, asocial and handicapped." Dimensions, "...the strength of this work is its comprehensive treatment of the nexus between racial ideologies and the state apparatus under the auspices of Adolph Hitler. In addition to highlighting the peculiar human tragedy of Nazi Germany, Burleigh and Wipperman's study leaves enough room for comparative assessment, as well as for consideration of the recurring popularity of Fascism which plagues France, Italy, and recently unified Germany today." Social Science Quarterly, 'The greatest strength of the book is the way in which Burleigh and Wippermann demonstrate the 'all-pervasive racism of the Nazi state'. They capture the obsessive nature of Hitler's racism, while sensibly concluding that 'racial anti-Semitism' was its 'most important element' ... The major importance of The Racial State, however lies rather in the following chapters, on the persecution of the 'Gypsies' (Sinti and Roma), the mentally, congenitally and hereditarily ill, 'Rhineland bastards', 'asocials' and homosexuals, all of which groups were perceived as threats to the Nazis' vision of a purified and homogenous national community. If the Jews were perceived as the chief, demonic threat, these other victims were also seen as intolerable blemishes, to be eliminated with measures of uninhibited violence ranging from compulsory sterilisation/castration/abortion and often fatal incarceration to systematic murder.' Times Literary Supplement, ‘ … deserves a wide readership … the lessons taught by this book should be learned by all of us’.Times Higher Education Supplement, "Extensive footnoted references will delight those conducting in-depth research on the subject, while the review of German experience from 1933-1945 provides scholarly insights into the making, as well as the experience, of a racially segregated nation." Bookwatch, ' … deserves a wide readership … the lessons taught by this book should be learned by all of us'. Times Higher Education Supplement, "...this does sterling service as an undergraduate textbook (I speak from experience), raising a number of important issues for discussion." German Studies Review, 'The Racial State may be recommended as one of the best introductions available to the still burgeoning and highly charged scholarly literatures on the Third Reich.' Ethnic and Racial Studies, "Profusely illustrated, this first-rate study traces the development of German racial ideology from the theoreticians of the 18th century to the Nazis' attempted creation of an Aryan utopia. The power of the book derives from its scrupulous analysis of the Nazis' experiments with sterilization and euthanasia, the treatment of the mentally ill and the physically handicapped, the suppression of homosexuality, the reduction of women to 'reproduction machines' and the persecution of the Jews." Publishers Weekly, "I greatly welcome the appearance of this book. Not only does it offer a valuable comprehensive survey of the many facets of Nazi race policy: its authors make an important contribution to central questions of interpretation--Nazism's uniqueness or comparability with other systems of rule, the reactionary or modern character of Hitler's regime, and the relationship of the killing of the Jews to the barbarous persecution of other racially-determined victims." Ian Kershaw, University of Sheffield, "The evidence garnered from both the primary sources as well as the recent and standard secondary materials is staggering...the volume serves as a sobering reminder that overwhelming historical evidence is the best defense against recurring bouts of historical amnesia." The Historian, ‘The Racial State may be recommended as one of the best introductions available to the still burgeoning and highly charged scholarly literatures on the Third Reich.’Ethnic and Racial Studies, "In looking at the racial underpinnings of virtually every move made by the Nazi state, this book tries to refute the idea that the Third Reich represented just another form of national modernization....[The authors] argue convincingly that Nazism was on its way to creating a society demarcated by race, not economic class." Library Journal, ' ... deserves a wide readership ... the lessons taught by this book should be learned by all of us'. Times Higher Education Supplement, "...a lucid, throughly-researched volume which plumbs the origins and practices of Nazism." The Canadian Jewish News, 'The greatest strength of the book is the way in which Burleigh and Wippermann demonstrate the 'all-pervasive racism of the Nazi state'. They capture the obsessive nature of Hitler's racism, while sensibly concluding that 'racial anti-Semitism' was its 'most important element' … The major importance of The Racial State, however lies rather in the following chapters, on the persecution of the 'Gypsies' (Sinti and Roma), the mentally, congenitally and hereditarily ill, 'Rhineland bastards', 'asocials' and homosexuals, all of which groups were perceived as threats to the Nazis' vision of a purified and homogenous national community. If the Jews were perceived as the chief, demonic threat, these other victims were also seen as intolerable blemishes, to be eliminated with measures of uninhibited violence ranging from compulsory sterilisation/castration/abortion and often fatal incarceration to systematic murder.'
