World opinion is continually helpless in the face of massacres perpetrated a little everywhere in the world. Bosnia, Rwanda, Darfour. The number of victims in the past century reached some 100 million. Which surpasses the number of dead during all the wars in the same period. A genocide is worse than a war. How are crimes against humanity possible?
Daniel Goldhagen spoke to the victims and the executioners, analyzing genocides from start to finish. How do people come to kill their neighbors, men, women and children? What characterizes the start of a massacre? And when does it end? Why do we usually not react when a genocide is taking place? Are we really helpless?
