| Итог: | Christian Ingrao's Believe and Destroy, adapted from his 2001 dissertation, offers a new entry into the study of perpetrator motivation by examining a group of eighty men who entered the Security Service (SD) prior to the start of World War II and who eventually became primary actors in mass murder as leaders within the Einsatzgruppen. As the subtitle of the work implies, Ingrao takes the academic and intellectual training and aspirations of this cohort seriously. According to the author, “These young men provide no evidence at all for the clichéd image of the thuggish Nazi activist. … Nor were they the bad boys of a science that they ‘perverted’” (p. 32). |
