"Mass Violence in Nazi-Occupied Europe is an excellent work that makes a compelling argument for a more comprehensive study of Third Reich criminality, encompassing more than the Final Solution. It provides a very effective synopsis of the state of play of Holocaust-related research and the important work being done by international scholars in a number of less-explored fields."―Mark Montesclaros, US Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Gordon Satellite Campus, H-War

"A groundbreaking series of articles on German mass killing and violence during World War II"―New Books Network - Genocide

"The volume features fascinating case studies that complicate our understanding of Nazi occupational policies or reinforce our growing appreciation of its messiness on the ground."―Katrin Paehler, European History Quarterly

"For those who can stomach the descriptions of barbaric acts, Mass Violence in Nazi Europe provides the histories of victims who have been forgotten or erased from well-known narratives and resituates the understanding of Nazi terror as being exercised mainly in Eastern Europe. Kay and Stahel should be commended for taking on such an important volume."―Sanjana Rajagopal - Fordham University, Reading Religion
