[Peace-discuss] Hitler, Holocaust

[Ricky Baldwin]

Two recent books worth a read in this regard:

Hitler's Willing Executioners
(about the zealous participation of ordinary Germans,
who in many cases went far beyond their infamous
"orders")

What We Knew
(about the extent to which ordinary Germans knew about
the Holocaust as it as happening)

Both are chilling, and they say a lot about what a
well educated, well read society can do - with mass
participation.  Timely, methinks.
