Daniel Goldhagen's study of the Holocaust offers conclusions that
run directly counter to those reached by Christopher Browning,
whose book Ordinary Men is also the subject of a Macat analysis. As
such, the two analyses make possible some interesting critical
thinking exercises focused on evaluation of the evidence used by
the two historians. For Goldhagen, a chief reason for German
actions was not the mundane good comradeship stressed by Browning,
but a longstanding hatred of Jews and Judaism specific to Germany
that dated back well into the previous century. Debating which
historian is right, which has made better use of the available
evidence, which has most successfully written objectively - and
which advances the most secure interpretation of contested
documents - forces students to think critically about one of the
most important and (on the surface at least) incomprehensible
events of the past century.
