In the half-century since the appearance of Hannah Arendt's seminal
work The Origins of Totalitarianism, innumerable historians have
detailed the history of the Nazi years. Now, in a brilliant
synthesis of this work, Enzo Traverso situates the extermination
camps as the final, terrible moment in European modernity's
industrialization of killing and dehumanization of death. Traverso
upends the conventional presentation of the Holocaust as an
inexplicable anomaly, navigating an excess of antecedents both
technical and cultural. Deftly tracing a complex lineage--the
guillotine and machine gun, the prison and assembly line, as well
as widespread ideologies of racial supremacy and colonial
expansion--Traverso reveals that the ideas that coalesced at
Auschwitz came from Europe's mainstream and not its margins.
