TY - GEN AB - How could the Holocaust have happened? How could people do such things to other people? Were all or most of the perpetrators insane? Are psychologically normal people capable of committing such unspeakable violence? Were Germans willing participants in the genocidal enterprise, or were they mainly influenced by evil leaders? Is the potential for genocidal behaviour universal - could something like the Holocaust happen anywhere, anytime? Such questions have motivated much discussion of the Holocaust, and psychologists have been contributing to the discussion from the very beginning. 'Of Mind and Murder' provides a brief reminder as to what the Holocaust was, and it offers a detailed look at the major approaches taken by psychologists in their attempts to explain the behaviour of those caught up in the Holocaust.
