«Les bourreaux volontaires de Hitler» is the historical essay by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, published by Seuil in paperback (588 pages, in French).
Essay on the involvement of ordinary Germans in the Holocaust. Goldhagen argues that anti-Semitism deeply rooted in German society led thousands of citizens to participate voluntarily in the genocide and rejects the idea that they acted under coercion. The book sparked intense historiographical debate.
The work was originally published in 1996 as «Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust». It was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award in the general nonfiction category.
For readers interested in the history of the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and the debate on collective responsibility in genocide.
