Extraordinary Evil or Common Malevolence? Evaluating the Jewish Holocaust.
Lackey, Douglas P.
Journal of Applied Philosophy, v3 n2 p167-81 1986
Considers and rejects the hypothesis of Frackenheim, Wiesel and others that the Jewish Holocaust contains some qualitative or quantitatively distinct moral evil. It argues that the intentions and vices of mass murderers are qualitatively indistinguishable from those of the common murderer, and that the evils of six million individual murders are quantitatively indistinguishable from those of the Holocaust.
