The Cunning Of History and a Nazi Style Mass Death Threat
Richard L. Rubenstein argues in The Cunning Of History that a Nazi style mass extinction could recur if a government gains unchecked power and population pressures rise. He notes the Holocaust was a modern, organized effort aided by a disciplined bureaucracy and warns against complacency by studying how the Nazis operated and how Jewish resistance failed. He criticizes current fascination with the Nazi era and warns against perverse or sadistic fantasies masking a desire for domination.
