of his and Nolte's views. The uniqueness and the singularity of the Holocaust is a major theme of Jäckel. In his view, it is like no other genocide. In an essay published in Der Spiegel on 23 December 1991, Jäckel argued against those who claimed that the East German dictatorship was just as inhumane as the Nazi dictatorship. During the Goldhagen Controversy of 1996, Jäckel was a leading critic of Daniel Goldhagen and wrote a very hostile book review in the Die Zeit newspaper in May 1996 that called Hitler's Willing Executioners "simply a bad book". The Canadian historian Fred Kautz, in defence of Goldhagen, wrote, "Jackel is not a 'structuralist', but a Hitler biographer. He expounds the theory that Hitler alone was driven by the explicit desire to kill all the Jews and that in essence only he is guilty. This narrows down the question of guilt to only one evil person and absolves the 'ordinary Germans'". Last years The partnership with Lea Rosh begun in 1988 and led to a widely-watched four-part television documentary, Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland, a popular book of the same name and the Geschwister-Scholl-Preis in 1990. With Lea, Jäckel also led the drive to create a memorial in Berlin to the murdered Jews of Europe. The Holocaust-Mahnmal opened in 2005. In March 2006 in a feuilleton (opinion) piece in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Jäckel wrote a book review that approved of Guenter Lewy's thesis in his book The Armenian Massacres in Ottoman Turkey about the 1915 Armenian Massacres that massacres but no genocide occurred of the Armenians. Jäckel's critics accused him of disregarding the fact that Ottoman troops were crossing the border and exterminating Armenians outside the Ottoman Empire in 1918 (the Young Turks' campaign in Caucasus killed 40,000 Armenians) and in 1920 (Kemalist troops killed 60,000 civilians).
