商品簡介
Journalist Pringle tracks the work of the Ahnenerbe, an archeological institute of sorts set up by Heinrich Himmler to justify killing just about anyone in Nazi Germany who did not fit his idea of physical perfection. Manned by a bizarre mix of maniacs and serious scientists, the work of the Ahnenerbe included looking for the roots of Aryanism in Tibet and Bolivia and creating a skeleton collection by choosing among live Jews, gassing them, and stripping the flesh from their bones. Pringle's is a horrifying and still-relevant cautionary tale. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
