Ep. 13- Drunk on Genocide: Nazi Perpetrators, Alcohol, and Violence with Ed Westermann

1 tim 18 min•15 april 2024

What motivated Nazi perpetrators? How do we explain the apparent ease with which so many Germans carried out acts of extreme violence? These are some of the most enduring questions raised by the Holocaust.

And they are questions that scholars still grapple with today. In this episode, I talked with Prof. Ed Westermann about these questions including issues such as alcohol abuse, sexual violence, and the role of toxic masculinity. Warning: this does contain some disturbing content.

Ed Westermann a Regents Professor of History at Texas A&M University- San Antonio.
