Antisemitism in Germany

American political scientist Daniel Goldhagen argues in his book Hitler's Willing Executioners, that the vast majority of ordinary Germans were "willing executioners" in the Holocaust because of a unique and virulent "eliminationist antisemitism" in German political culture which had developed in the preceding centuries. This thesis has been rejected by many historians.
