perverse are such details that simply to mentionthem seems
shameful. Statistically the Holocaust is less im-mediately
sickening because less sharply seeable; but here too,reality takes
on a feeling of unreality which terrifies. Extermina-tion of
9,0oo,ooo people in five years, at least 6,ooo,ooo ofthem Jews, a
million of them children. Death camps so efficientthat 20,00o human
beings could be “processed”wtumed fromflesh to smoke–each day. The
boast of Treblinka was “from doorto door in forty-five

chambers. As an itemization of evil trulydemonic, the record of the
Holocaust goes on and on, nor canwe sum its meaning, nor does it
cease to haunt us deeply.At Yale University in the early I97o’s,
for example, StanleyMilgram performed his famous “obedience
experiments,” the aimof which was to determine at what point a
person would refuse,against “official” directives, to continue in a
process of obvious! cruelty: The results were unexpected. A full
two thirds of those
