Hitler's Willing Executioners by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust
This provocative and controversial work delves into the role of ordinary Germans in the Holocaust, challenging the notion that only a small group of Nazi leaders were responsible for the atrocities. It argues that a pervasive and deep-seated anti-Semitism among the German populace facilitated widespread participation in the genocide. By examining historical evidence and testimonies, the book contends that many Germans were not merely following orders but were active and willing participants in the systematic extermination of Jews, driven by ingrained prejudices and societal norms.
