Esclavos en la Europa del siglo XX (1914-1945)

The extremely violent era of the world wars (1914–1945) led to a dramatic resurgence of slavery and an unexpected setback for abolitionism. Nationalists, communists, and fascists in the Ottoman Empire, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Vichy France, and Spain during its civil war revived the militarism, torture, and mass murder that characterized earlier slave societies in Africa, the Islamic world, and the Americas. The new slaveholders restricted the personal mobility, property rights, legal protections, sexual freedom, privacy, and even the lives of their prisoners. Slaves in 20th century Europe (1914-1945) is the result of extensive and in-depth research that Michael Seidman has conducted over many years to demonstrate that the evolution of societies can easily be halted and reversed in times of upheaval.
