It is perhaps worth noting that in his important book on 'Euthanasia' in Germany, Michael Burleigh includes an important caution (p. 294) about 'psychohistory over coffee and cake with mass murderers', arguing that the some of the writing on this topic (e.g. Robert Jay Lifton's work) is of dubious quality to say the least. See Chapter 10, 'Learning from the Past? The Singer Debate', for further details. Burleigh's own book is, in my view, excellently researched, and at the same time acknowledges all of the appropriate limitations. It also points to many other good sources of information (particularly if you can read German). Christopher Reference: Burleigh, M. (1994) Death and Deliverance: 'Euthanasia' in Germany 1900-1945.
