Peter Hayes has been teaching Holocaust studies for decades and
Why? grows out of the questions he's encountered from his students.
Despite the outpouring of books, films, memorials, museums and
courses devoted to the subject, a coherent explanation of why such
carnage erupted still eludes people. Numerous myths have sprouted,
many to console us that things could have gone differently if only
some person or entity had acted more bravely or wisely; others cast
new blame on favourite or surprising villains or even on
historians. Why? dispels many legends and debunks the most
prevalent ones, including the claim that the Holocaust never
happened. Hayes brings scholarly wisdom to bear on popular views of
the history, challenging some of the most prominent interpretations
and arguing that the convergence of multiple forces at a particular
moment resulted in this catastrophe.
