Departure from the community of civilized people

Reference no: EM13231149

Daniel Goldhagen wrote that the Holocaust is the Germans’ “departure from the community of ‘civilized people’.” The fact that the Nazis were able to pursue a policy of genocide against European Jewry during WWII suggest that he might have a point. Do the horrors of the mid-twentieth century shed understanding on the nature of European “Civilization” or lack thereof? Does this illuminate our discussion of 19th century European crises?

Please just tell me everything you know about this topic.
