Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-300-12186-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Craving community : World War I and the myth of comradeship -- Fabricating the male bond : the racial nation as a training camp -- Performing genocidal ethics : togetherness in Himmler's elite -- Spreading complicity : pleasure and qualms in the cynical army -- Watching terror : women in the community of crime.No one has ever posed a satisfactory explanation for the extreme inhumanity of the Holocaust. What enabled millions of Germans to perpetrate or condone the murder of the Jews? In this illuminating book, Thomas Kühne offers a provocative answer. In addition to the hatred of Jews or coercion that created a genocidal society, he contends, the desire for a united "people's community" made Germans conform and join together in mass crime.Exploring private letters, diaries, memoirs, secret reports, trial records, and other documents, the author shows how the Nazis used such common human needs as community, belonging, and solidarity to forge a nation conducting the worst crime in history.Community lifeGermanyHistory20th centuryFellowshipSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryGenocideSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryAntisemitismSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryShameSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryNational socialismSocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryGermanySocial life and customs20th centuryGermanySocial conditions20th centuryGermanyRace relationsHistory20th centuryGermanyArmed ForcesMilitary lifeHistory20th centuryElectronic books.Community lifeHistoryFellowshipSocial aspectsHistoryGenocideSocial aspectsHistoryAntisemitismSocial aspectsHistoryShameSocial aspectsHistoryNational socialismSocial aspectsHistory943.086Kühne Thomas1958-387237MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452854203321Belonging and genocide2477248UNINA
