by Snyder. Snyder held forth on Democracy Now a couple of times earlier in the events in the Ukraine, evidence of the relative credibility that his horrible thesis has gained. Daniel Lazare is the uncle of Sarah Lazare, who spent time around here and now works at Common Dreams in Maine. Daniel also did a brilliant takedown of Todd Gitlin in The Nation a few years back. Most interesting, for those of us who followed the Goldhagen controversy through to Finkelstein's The Holocaust Industry in the late 90s, is the relative silence over rationalizations for anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe. I think that Lazare treats it with the seriousness that it deserves.</div><div><br></div><div>DG</div></div></body></html>
