Best-selling author of The Last Exit: Visas and Escape Routes from Nazi Europe, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle and "Between the Pines: A Testament from Sobibor Death Camp, 1942-1943 and Survival Beyond"
How genocide was financed. How the money vanished. How the guilty escaped.
"A forensic dismantling of the financial machinery behind genocide - and the silence that followed."
In Exodus of Evil , historian and investigative author Michael Green delivers a devastating exposé of the greatest unresolved crime of the Second World War: the industrialised theft that accompanied the Holocaust-and the immense fortunes that were never returned.
This is not a story of rumours or lost-treasure myths. It is a documented history of ledgers, laws, vaults, and accounts .
"Not a tale of lost Nazi gold, but a documented history of how mass murder was converted into balance sheets."
Drawing on archival research, declassified intelligence files, banking records, and post-war investigations, Green shows how Nazi Germany transformed persecution and murder into a functioning economic system. Jewish property was registered, seized, liquidated, and converted into state revenue. Gold taken from victims-including from the dead-was laundered through central banks, neutral states, and religious institutions.
When the Third Reich collapsed, the money did not.
"A disturbing reminder that the Third Reich collapsed, but its money did not."
From the Reichsbank and the infamous Melmer gold accounts to Swiss banking secrecy, Vatican intermediaries, and South American escape routes, Exodus of Evil traces the hidden pipelines that moved both wealth and war criminals out of Europe and beyond justice. The ratlines were not improvised-they were financed, protected, and quietly tolerated.
"Exposes how banks, bureaucracies, and respected institutions enabled theft on a continental scale - and survived the reckoning."
Building on the author's earlier works examining Nazi crimes, post-war impunity, and the failures of restitution, this is Michael Green's most comprehensive and unsettling book to date. Lawyers, bankers, civil servants, and institutions emerge not as bystanders, but as enablers-many of whom resumed respectable lives after 1945 while their victims' wealth remained hidden.
"This is not myth, speculation, or sensationalism - it is accounting, law, and evidence."
Unflinching, meticulously sourced, and impossible to dismiss, Exodus of Evil is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how genocide was made profitable-and why so much of its legacy remains unresolved today.
"A monumental work of history - and a warning for an age still built on secrecy, power, and impunity."
