This section of Worse Than War examines evidence that the perpetrators of eliminationist campaigns live in a milieu over­whelmingly supporting and affirming their treatment of the victims.

WORSE THAN WAR documents Goldhagen’s travels, teachings, and interviews in nine countries around the world, bringing viewers on an unprecedented journey of insight and analysis.

Both scholars and nonscholars have falsely assumed that when a leader or­ders people to be eliminated, his followers do it reflexively. This excerpt from the book looks at how genocide really occurs.

Through a rigorous investigation of key moments in history, Facing History and Ourselves teaches students to combat prejudice with compassion and misinformation with knowledge.

In an interview, Goldhagen discusses the motivation behind writing the book, the impact of traveling with his family to his fathers pre-Holocaust home town, and what it feels like to shake the hand and interview someone who has committed mass murder.
