| Resumo: | Robert Ericksen has studied complicity among ordinary Germans in the Holocaust for many years. His groundbreaking 1985 monograph Theologians Under Hitler revealed the extent to which leading Protestant theologians embraced the racial ideology of National Socialism. In subsequent articles, Ericksen broadened his focus to the universities' involvement in the promotion of Nazi ideology. Complicity in the Holocaust seems to culminate Ericksen's research on the churches' and universities' role in promoting lethal antisemitism. Ericksen concurs with Konrad Jarausch, who argued that German lawyers, teachers, and engineers “perpetrated callous injustice, engaged in stultifying indoctrination, and created engines of death for their own gratification and benefit. |
