Abstract:
A critique of the new generation of German historians engaged in researching the Nazi period. States that they attack the historians of the older generation for ignoring the moral dimensions of the Holocaust and the view of the victims. Contends, however, that their emphasis on moral and ideological factors, and individual life stories, cannot adequately explain the Holocaust without the structural factors that allowed violence against Jews and other minorities to run amok.
Note:
On present-day German historiography of the Holocaust.
