CloseHitler and the Holocaust
July 9, 2011
Martin Wank is author of Hitler and the Holocaust: The Hidden Story.
Adolf Hitler was a mediocrity as much as he was a monster. He exploited a German unease with modernization that began in the 19th century and used it as a vehicle for political self-promotion. Martin Wank describes how Hitler's role was made inevitable by "Germanism" – a longing for a romantic, medieval past.
