Departure from the community of civilized people, History

Assignment Help:

Daniel Goldhagen wrote that the Holocaust is the Germans' "departure from the community of ‘civilized people'." The fact that the Nazis were able to pursue a policy of genocide against European Jewry during WWII suggest that he might have a point. Do the horrors of the mid-twentieth century shed understanding on the nature of European "Civilization" or lack thereof? Does this illuminate our discussion of 19th century European crises?
