The Holocaust : Who are the guilty?

Emphasizes the relevance of the Holocaust for the contemporary world, and the responsibility of the West, especially of the British government, for allowing Germany to build up its military strength and carry out aggressive policies which made the extermination of the Jews possible. Describes the "Final Solution" from 1942 on, and how Jewish refugees were prevented from reaching Palestine and bombing of the concentration camps was refused. Despite the findings of the Nuremberg Tribunal, many Nazi war criminals escaped punishment.

Warns that Arab hostility to Israel and Soviet anti-Zionist policy may lead to a new Holocaust. also discusses left-wing anti-Zionism in Britain today, the Bitburg affair, and the case of Kurt Waldheim.
