[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's hypothesis was that there was something different about Germany that made antisemitism flourish there in as murderous way. I don't necessarily agree with this hypothesis, as a lot of historians have criticized his methodology. However, he asks whether one can envision everyday Danes or [b]Italians [/b]participating in the Holocaust the way Germans did. The fact that I can't envision that makes me want to do more research on this topic.[/quote]

I find the Goldhagen stuff pure populism. No woder he wasn't given tenure at Harvard.[/quote]

Seriously? Ever hear of Mussolini?[/quote]

Ever read about Italian participation in the Holocaust? I'm guessing it's not what you think it was.[/quote]

The point was that the Germans thought it up (the process) and did it with such passion and efficiency that it is hard to imagine anyone else doing something like that. But really, there are some other cultures that I could see doing the same thing. [/quote]
