[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”13″ display=”basic_slideshow” transition_speed=”6″]Jack Fischel, American academic and Holocaust scholar, discusses events leading up to and the human psychology behind the Holocaust, where two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population was executed. Could such large-scale genocide happen again today?

The Holocaust is an extremely complicated topic that goes beyond the pale of a one hour interview but key points such as eugenics, race theory, religious misunderstandings and political power are brought out.

Jack R. Fischel was a professor of history at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, where he lectured for 37 years. He currently teaches a pluralism class at Messiah College and is a noted author of several books on the Holocaust (see books section below).
