"The Promise of the East. Nazi hope and genocide, 1939-1943" by Christian Ingrao, Seuil, 2016
Drawing on unpublished sources, Bettina Stangneth demonstrates how Hannah Arendt’s thesis on the banality of evil cannot be applied to one of the greatest architects of the "Final Solution". Christian Ingrao investigates what he calls the "Utopia" of the Third Reich, its desire to colonize and Germanize the immense spaces conquered in the East during the Second World War.
In the presence of Christian Ingrao, historian, CNRS/IHTP, and Fabien Théofilakis, historian, university Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Led by Iannis Roder, history professor and trainer at the Shoah Memorial.
