Over two years after the appearance of Hitler's Willing Executioners,very little can be heard about the so-called Goldhagen Debate inGermany: no more scholarly reviews, at most a few echoes here andthere. Over two hundred thousand copies of the book were sold,and it was certainly read almost as many times. But it does notappear in the syllabi of university courses on the Holocaust, exceptperhaps in those that cover historiographical debates. In the Germanedition of Saul Friedländer's new book, Nazi Germany and the Jews,Daniel Goldhagen does not rate a mention, except for a three linefootnote on page 420 in which his theory is described as "unconvincingon the basis of the materials presented as part of the study."2Goldhagen's book, one can confidently predict, will not play a rolein future Holocaust research
