Daniel Goldhagen
Daniel Jonah Goldhagen (born 1959) is an American political scientist. He is most famous for his controversial book, Hitler's Willing Executioners (ISBN 0-349-10786-6), which posits that ordinary Germans not only knew about but were in favour of the Holocaust because of a unique and virulent "eliminationist" antisemitism in the German identity, which developed in the centuries preceding the event.
