Description

The Holocaust's most ordinary perpetrators were often more dangerous than its infamous leaders. Guenter Lewy examines how thousands of everyday people collaborated in the Nazi machine, making mass murder a daily reality. Lewy draws on previously untapped sources to create a detailed portrait of the Holocaust's perpetrators, exploring their mindset and motivations. He combines historical analysis with psychological insight to understand the dynamics of participation in large-scale atrocities. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of individual responsibility for collective crimes, revealing that the perpetrators acted out of various motives, including duty, obedience, career advancement, and blind faith in anti-Semitic ideology.
