Review title: Based on flawed assumptions
Product review: This book must be one of the most flawed works I have ever read. It starts with the populist title "Hitlers willing executioners". This very first statement is already based on flawed and dangerous assumptions. Firstly, there were 70 million Germans living in Germany in the 30s and 40s. How many of these were war criminals (in Goldhagen's words "executioners")? A few thousand certainly, but 70 millions? It is not only a nonsense statement, to equal an entire national group or culture with executioners is just as racist as it can get. If you want to have a decent read about the Holocaust and "the" Germans I definitely recommend you to stay away from this exemplary piece of propaganda. It makes me sad to see this book since it is exactly this type of despicable racism reducing an entire people to "evil beings" which lead to the suffering Jews had to endure in their history. When will we ever stop being racist and start judging people on an individual basis?
