The Holocaust is one of the central events of modern history. But what role did modernity and modernization play in the development of racial policy in Germany during the 1930s? Did Germany travel a "special path" of its own that made the Holocaust an inevitability?Or was it an array of modernizing forces that brought about a desire for change?THE SLEEP OF REASON considers how and why the issue of race emerged as a defining issue for National Socialism in the 1920s and how the development and implementation of racial policy in the Third Reich was a result of modernizing forces - not necessarily dictated from on high - at work in the country.
