| Summary: | In Murder Without Hatred Anton Weiss-Wendt casts a critical look at one of the peripheries in the Western understanding of the Holocaust. Such peripheries, however, do contain significant untapped potential for modern Holocaust research, as Weiss-Wendt ably demonstrates. The present work sheds light on how collaboration was crucial to the realization of the Holocaust on the local level, as well as collaboration's contribution to the murderousness of World War II in the East., In his introduction, Weiss-Wendt tells us he is at a loss to discern many more aspects to the Holocaust than abject mass murder; yet, as he shows, there are many roads to a seemingly unidimensional outcome. |
