| Summary: | Thanks to the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998 and the Interagency Working Group (IWG) created for its implementation, some eight million pages of World War II era documents have been declassified. Despite the Freedom of Information Act, these records of the CIA, the former OSS, the U.S. Army, and the FBI had been almost as inaccessible as the German records held by the former Soviet Union and its satellites. The opening of all these collections during the last decade has fueled a burst of more accurate analysis of many aspects of the Holocaust., The IWG decided that it could benefit from the input of expert historians, and this volume is one product of that decision. In fifteen essays, they have revealed some of the insights provided into several long-standing questions. |
