The Holocaust was the central event in Eastern Europe during World War II

The Holocaust was the central event in Eastern Europe during World War II. Use the following quote from Timothy Snyder’s book Bloodlands as the starting point of your analysis of what became of German war aims when their war against the Soviets began to falter: “…Heydrich and Himmler were able to turn the unfavorable battlefield situation to their advantage by reformulating the Final Solution so that it could be carried out during a war that was not going according to plan. They understood that the war was becoming…a ‘war against the Jews.'” (p. 188). Explain what the German plan became in this new “war”, how it was carried out, and what ideological explanations were provided to justify its aims. Cite from Lang, Timothy Snyder’s book Bloodlands, and the Himmler document. Please quote from the World War II Narrated Lecture (to find the lecture, click on the Narrated Lectures link on the left-hand menu and then on “Dr. Davis’s YouTube Channel”). Please use internal citations from the sources you use in your response, and write at least 500 words.
