Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men, has been criticised for excusing the conduct of Germans who participated directly in killing of Jews during the Holocaust. Do you think that this criticism is justified? If he is not excusing the policemen’s conduct, what is he trying to do in his book? Does this criticism apply to the whole historical approach to the Holocaust and genocide? Explain your answer carefully. 4 full pages, no abstract. Based on the reading of Browning, paper is judged based on persuasiveness of argument and use of evidence from the READING to back up the argument.
You can cite sources from the readings in parentheses, like this: (Beller, 28).
These are our assigned readings, only use 3, and that is necessary. For my paper, Browning’s Ordinary Men is most applicable.
