Timothy P. Jackson argues that the central reasons for the Holocaust were ideological: Nazism's belief in survival of the fittest directly conflicted with Judaic moral monotheism, and this conflict drove the compulsion to annihilate the Jewish people. Identifying these ideological causes provides important context for the continual resurgence of anti-Semitic violence.
