Description
Since the publication of Daniel Goldhagen's controversial Hitler's Willing Executioners there has been a renewed and vigorous debate on how deep and widespread antisemitism was in German society. This volume brings together some of the best known scholars in the field to analyze, on the basis of new evidence from East European archives, not only Nazi anti-Jewish policies but also the attitudes of Germany's elites, the churches, workers, and "ordinary Germans." There have been many responses to Goldhagen's hypothesis concerning the pervasiveness of a radical antisemitism. This book contains the most comprehensive and carefully substantiated assessment to date.
