The book sounds like if it's using the same arguments that the Nazis did. "Citizens" turn into EVERYBODY.
Making the actions of some the responsibility of EVERYBODY.
And saying there was no social pressure is interesting; What was it then that caused the frenzy? Deductive reasoning?
This is a huge step back.
We've been so busy pointing fingers at the Germans, trying to prove that we are nothing like them, that we've all probably already missed both one and two holocausts.
It is this kind of reasoning that creates Neo-Nazis in Europe.
I think that if the German people is not allowed to become patriots again - proud of what they have today, not of their past - then they will become Nationalists instead.
Anti-semitism was rampant in the Western world at the time, and let's face it - nobody picked up arms against Nazi Germany to protect the Jews. Therefore it is nice to ignore our own history and have a scape goat. Hitler had followers everywhere, not just in Germany.
