This book offers a provocative interpretation of the major historical and psychological factors contributing to the Holocaust and its long range implications. The authors provide insights into the behaviour of perpetrators, victims, bystanders and active resisters, exploring the unique German context of the Holocaust and the myths of victim passivity and SS psychopathology. But their enquiry probes beyond actions and behaviour to confront the meaning of the event and the limited ability of prior forms of knowledge, values, and conceptual theories to interpret it.
