Since the 1990s scholars have focused heavily on the perpetrators
of the Holocaust, and have presented a complex and heterogeneous
picture of perpetrators. This book provides a unique overview of
the current state of research on perpetrators. Contributions
approach the topic from various expertise (history, gender,
sociology, psychology, law, comparative genocide), and address
several unresolved questions. The overall focus is on the key
question that it still disputed: How do ordinary people become mass
murderers?
The essays in this book reflect on the significance of the
Holocaust sixty years afterwards. In this time it has become
embedded in collective memory This book explores the idea that even
thought the tenets of Nazism--racism, dictatorship, expansionism
--have become unacceptable in the western world, little has
actually changed. Since 1945 crimes against humanity and human
rights have occurred throughout the world. The Holocaust thus
pre-figures a "death-drive" in contemporary culture: the idea that
the ability to deliver death is the supreme expression of
self-affirmation.
