Raul Hilberg on the zeal of the Holocaust "bureaucrats"

'Destruction of the European Jews', the major work of the American historian Raul Hilberg, has just been republished. Interviewed by Thomas Wieder, Raul Hilberg discusses the way the extermination was carried out. "Over almost 60 years of research, I can assure you that I have seen very few guidelines. On imagines that in totalitarian regimes individuals spend their time taking orders and having to obey them. This is not true. In all bureaucracies, people take fare more initiative than is commonly thought. They ask themselves what they can do to conform to what they assume to be the will of their superiors. The destruction process results from this sort of emulation on every level. ... There was no pre-established game-plan. As for the question of decision-making, it is in part unsolvable: no order signed by Hitler has ever been found, no doubt because no such document ever existed."
