The Machinery of Mass Murder: How did the Holocaust actually happen? While very idea of the Final Solution seems inconceivable, so is the idea of the bureaucracy of death of millions of people, which involved designing and building scores of special camps, identifying and rounding up victims, keeping many of them alive and working and arranging an “alternative” for the others, dealing with the transportation, overseeing the whole enterprise…we will examine the Final Solution from the beginning to understand just how the unthinkable could actually happen.
