Abstract:
Summarizes the views of Daniel J. Goldhagen as presented in his book "Hitler's Willing Executioners" (1996), especially regarding the pervasiveness and extreme nature of German antisemitism which, he contends, led directly to the Holocaust. Shows that antisemitism was much more extreme in other countries (Russia, France) in the 19th-20th centuries, and that Goldhagen's theses are simplistic and incorrect. But his book aroused a furor in Germany. Posits that this is so because German historians have consistently ignored the subject of antisemitism as a part of German history - they do not write about it and they do not wish to deal with it. States that something has gone awry in mainstream German historiography, and that Goldhagen's book, although misconceived, may be an important contribution to correcting this distortion.
