Despite the thousands of pages written and words said about the Holocaust, I still am at a loss in trying to understand it. How a European people with a rich cultural tradition that produced some of the world's greatest composers, philosophers and poets could invent, enforce and docilely follow the first industrial genocide in human history remains, for me, an enigma. This essay focuses on the Jews, both numerically and ideologically the principal, but not the only, victims, the Roma being the other principal victims.

大屠杀与国际人道法中的旁观者、好心人和正义者

尽管关于大屠杀的文章和文字已经写了数千页，但我仍然无法理解它。一个拥有丰富文化传统并产生了一些世界上最伟大的作曲家、哲学家和诗人的欧洲民族如何能够发明、实施和温顺地遵循人类历史上第一次工业种族灭绝，对我来说仍然是一个谜。这篇文章关注的是犹太人，他们在数量上和意识形态上都是主要的受害者，但不是唯一的受害者，罗姆人是其他主要受害者。
