Summary
This chapter addresses the spectrum of state and individual involvement in the “Final Solution” in western Europe and other Nazi-controlled territories, its antecedents (including prewar interests and plans) and manifestations in the context of broader aspects of occupation policy and the history of the Second World War; and discusses institutions/actors involved and other factors to assess reasons for different degrees of effectiveness of anti-Jewish measures.
