SUMMARY:Perpetrators of the Holocaust: A Reassessment
DESCRIPTION:Perpetrators of the Holocaust: A Reassessment\n \nSince the end of WWII\, many explanations have been offered as to why the Nazis and their collaborators perpetrated the Holocaust.  These range from early childhood abuse\, the impact of Prussian militarism\, and a human propensity to follow orders. Today it is clear that there is no one explanation\, but many factors that led people to become perpetrators. Dr. Robert Rozett\, senior historian at Yad Vashem\, will address many of these factors and the role of public discourse in setting the stage for the Holocaust. This webinar connects to Lesson Plan Unit 9 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
