So what more is there to be said about Adolf Hitler? Is it enough to label him a monstrous, perhaps insane,megalomaniac and move on? What more do we need to know? Is there more to learn that could be of use to humanity? Is it even ethical to want to understand why he did what he did? Or do we risk the accusation of attempting to justify Hitler’s crimes by seeking to understand and explain them? Are there good reasons to revisit the darkness of this man and his deeds?

While historians have documented the atrocities of the Holocaust, none of the social sciences have been able to provide an adequate explanation for Nazi Genocide - until now.

Dr. Richard A. Koenigsberg is a Social Psychologist who has spent the past three decades examining the roots of war, genocide and terrorism through a lens of psychology. His first book ‘Hitler’s Ideology,’ published in 1975 and re-released in 2007, examines the writings of Adolf Hitler and reveals an inner logic that led to the mass extermination of the Jews. Based on Koenigsberg’s research, Hitler’s Holocaust: The Logic of Mass Murder is a fascinating examination of the thoughts, words and deeds of Adolf Hitler that provides us with a glimpse at what may be the psychological underpinnings of war, genocide and terrorism.
