Lawrence Rees spent twenty-five years interviewing survivors and perpetrators of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, and organically integrated eyewitness testimonies with recent academic research into this far-reaching history, revealing how this most notorious crime in human history was carried out.

Rees pointed out that there was no master plan for the massacre, but rather an escalation of a series of horrific crimes. There is no doubt that Hitler bears primary responsibility for what happened, but Rees also reminds us that the universality of guilt and the persistence of its consequences are "at the heart of the disturbing and evasive question."

One of the "Rose Trilogy" series of works by Gabriele D'Annunzio, a representative figure in Italian aestheticism literature; a story about confession, a completely rebellious character, a cynical and ruthless confession, a work worthy of being included in the European literary landscape; Visconti's film of the same name, a delicate and gorgeous aristocratic elegy. "The Innocents" was published in 1891 and is the most important part of the "Rose Trilogy". This is a story about confession, the confession of Tulio, a descendant of the aristocracy. He was greedy for the stimulation of desire and enjoyed extraordinary pleasure. He was also anxious because he was ashamed of his wife's tenderness, and later resented his wife's temporary weakness and infidelity, committing an irreparable sin. In Tulio, "many vague and opposite things are entangled together." The novel focuses on depicting people's ideological contradictions, moral swings, and mental torture. Tullio is completely a D'Annunzio-like hero, a cynical and ruthless esthete, a passionate lover and a rigorous intellectual, good at thinking and introspection, so real and showing the charm of human nature.
