Who was responsible for the Holocaust?


Who was Responsible for the Holocaust?

            It has always annoyed me that, when talking of the Holocaust, writers refer to the Nazis as responsible. It wasn’t the Nazis. It was the Germans. When America forces invaded Iraq, it was the Republicans who did so. It was America. When Britain defended the Falkland Islands, it wasn’t the Conservative Party that did so. It was Britain.

            In my book Suicide and the Holocaust, I was very careful not to refer to the perpetrators of the terror as Nazis, but rather as Germans.
