Daniel Goldhagen

Daniel Goldhagen is an American author and political scientist, best known for his controversial book 'Hitler's Willing Executioners', which argues that ordinary Germans were complicit in the Holocaust due to a deep-rooted anti-Semitism in German culture. His work sparked significant debate in academic and public spheres upon its release in 1996, as it challenged traditional narratives about the responsibility for the Holocaust and the nature of German society during the Nazi era.
