I am not a historian of the era, but maybe Peter Longerich's Holocaust: the Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews is considered the definitive account--if there is one. The recent edition also took into consideration the newly available materials at the Russian archives. But the references to the persecution and murder of the Roma people (Gypsies in common parlance) are quite offensive. The author seems dismissive of their suffering. Worse, he says: "These figures show that the Roma were not persecuted with anything like the same intensity as the Jews". So it is only about numbers? What about the fact that the numbers were smaller in terms of the size of the community and the question of the small relative number in Nazi Germany itself? So he can't compare the intensity merely by referring to numbers. But then again he says: "On the other hand the persecution of the Gypsies reveals numerous parallels with the persecution of the Jews..." (p. 421)
PS Nevertheless, I will still recommend the translation of the book into Arabic.
