Summary
Daniel J. Goldhagen: Ordinary People - Voluntary Executioners-The Dispute Over (German) Anti-Semitism
The various features of the Holocaust that must be taken into account are explained neither by coercion, nor by obedience to authority, nor by bureaucratic short-sightedness, nor by peer pressure, nor by personal gain, nor by careerism - but, instead, only by the anti-Semitism of the perpetrators."
Daniel J. Goldhagen
,,It is precisely this dark world of mixed motives, conflicting feelings and priorities, reluctant choices, selfish opportunism and adaptation combined with self-deception and denial, a world that is all too human and all too universal, that is absent from Daniel Goldhagen's Manichean story."
Christopher R. Browning
