Description
States that state -sponsored violations of human rights, of which the Holocaust is the pre-eminent example, are not an abberation of human behaviour or a collective breakdown of the political process, but an application and extension of the political machinery toward a public objective. As such it elicits a political response from the society in which it takes place, and in the societies that witness it.
