This book was easy to read. Katz was honest in sharing his personal experiences. He challenges the reader to go beyond simplistic ways of understanding the evil committed by humans during the Holocaust. Katz outlines some of the ways that he believes it was possible for ordinary people (Nazis and others) to commit atrocious acts, sometimes without disturbing their conscience and other times even with joy. Katz admits that believing that ordinary humans, like us, did these things is disturbing. He says that this is why some people prefer the safety of seperating themselves from the perpetrators of the Holocaust by calling them "monsters." Katz will not let the reader off so easily. This is important in making us aware of our choices and the situations that have the potential to influence us to willingly participate in evil.
