| Description |
Argues against Susanne Heim and Götz Aly's thesis [in this volume of "Yad Vashem Studies"] that the mass annihilation of European Jewry in Nazi-controlled Europe was conceived and planned by German technocrats out of economic considerations - i.e. that it was an attempt to "rationalize" the economy of the Eastern territories. Relates that the economic experts in Nazi Germany, whatever their ideas were, had no influence on the decision-making process that all of the Nazi elite spoke about the possibility of mass extermination of the Jews as early as the 1930s that German society was prepared for the Final Solution by the euthanasia program, and ideas comparable with the Final Solution were not unusual in other Western countries that Hitler and other Nazi leaders were deaf to economic considerations, basing their antisemitism on racism and that the Nazis never conceived the total annihilation of Slavs and Karaites. It was an irrational racist ideology which dictated the mass annihilation of the Jews by the Nazis. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) In Hebrew: "יד ושם קובץ מחקרים" כד (תשנה) 79-96 |
