Dr. Peter F. Hayes is an esteemed historian and recognized expert on the Holocaust. Dr. Hayes -– who is not Jewish — is chair of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He has written or edited 10 books. In the video linked below, Dr. Hayes explains why and how the genocidal murder of European Jews took place.
Quote: “The Holocaust was the product of a particular time and place: Europe in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution and the upheavals of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution. These were the contexts in which ancient hostilities toward Jews and Judaism, deeply rooted in religious rivalry but updated with the trappings of modern science, turned into a fixation on removing Jews from civil society as a magical solution to all social problems.”
