TL;DR: The work of Helen Fein stands out because, through its main findings, it encompasses the diversity of Nazi destructiveness: both the enthusiastic serf-initiated horrors of the hate-driven antisemite and the impersonal, routinized actions of the bureaucrat carrying out the orders of his superior.
Abstract: Three psychological approaches attempting to explain the behavior of the perpetrators of the Holocaust are reviewed and evaluated The first is a situational approach building largely on the laboratory experiments of the social psychologist Stanley Milgram The second is an approach focusing on the personal dispositions of the perpetrators, the primary example being work which has tried to find evidence of psychopathology among the Nazi leaders The third is an interactional approach-one that sees the Nazis' murderous actions as a product of both situational pressures and personal dispositions Among the last, the work of Helen Fein stands out because, through its main findings, it encompasses the diversity of Nazi destructiveness: both the enthusiastic serf-initiated horrors of the hate-driven antisemite and the impersonal, routinized actions of the bureaucrat carrying out the orders of his superior

TL;DR: The authors argued that the problem confronting the novelist is not the breakdown of a link between reality and imagination, but the restoration of the relation between word and meaning, and that only when silence may thus speak can meaning be returned to the word.
Abstract: Issue Section: Articles © 1993 by Oxf ord University Press You do not currently have access to this article. Download all figures This essay draws on some fifteen Holocaust novels to argue that the problem confronting the novelist is not the breakdown of a link between reality and imagination but the restoration of the relation between word and meaning. When that relation collapses, the word goes into exile, leaving a silence to which the novelist would impart an eloquence; only when silence may thus speak can meaning be returned to the word. In Its phenomenological approach, the essay examines silence as a subtext that reveals what transpires in the novel's creation and what is called for in the reader's response.
