One aspect of the work of the famous German social psychologist H. Welzer is the study of the motivation of Nazi criminals in the middle and lower ranks. It is often believed that the murderers demanded by the era allegedly had an anthropological predisposition to atrocities. But the author of the book turns first of all to social causes - he explores the combination of historical, political, socio-psychological and other factors that led to a change in the moral "background" in Germany and ultimately to the mass approval of the genocide committed by the Nazis.
This is a socio-psychological study of the formation of people's willingness to kill. The author analyzes numerous documentary archival materials in search of an answer to the question of how mass murder could become a chore for previously normal people.
The book examines episodes of genocide during World War II as well as the bloody events that took place during the military conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda, and the Balkans.
