ABSTRACT:
Part of a special section reviewing W. Brustein's The Logic of Evil: The Social Origins of the Nazi Party, 1925-1932. Brustein's book and Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners highlight different, complementary issues. Brustein generally ignores the interpretive process by which people connect the conditions of their lives with politics and the role of culture in leading people to believe that the Nazis would produce a better life for non-Jewish Germans. In addition, his claim that such themes as anti-Semitism, nationalism, and xenophobia played a marginal role is unproven and mainly unexamined. On the other hand, Goldhagen offers an explanation in which the embeddedness of anti-Semitism in German culture produced resonances for a Nazi package that integrated these themes with its economic appeals.
