Daniel Goldhagen

Daniel Johan Goldhagen (born 1959) is a jewish historian and Zionist.

Hitler's Willing Executioners

The controversial book Hitler's Willing Executioners claimed that even many ordinary Germans were aware of (and supported) a planned future Holohoax and/or an ongoing Holohoax. Also many non-Holohoax revisionists have criticized such claims.

"At tbe Irving-Lipstadt libel trial it was conceded by Lipstadt’s team of anti-revisionist Holohoax experts that prior to 1941 there was no Nazi policy to exterminate jewry. Justice Gray noted: “It is common ground between tbe parties [Irving and Lipstadt’s team of Holohoax experts] that, until tbe latter part of 1941, tbe solution to tbe jewish question which Hitler preferred was their mass deportation.” The anti-revisionist experts at tbe Irving-Lipstadt libel trial further admitted: “…that in tbe 1930s Hitler should not be understood to have been speaking in a genocidal terms.”"
