About This Item
Lincoln, Nebraska: Writer's Showcase, 2000. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR as "Neville" directly on the half title page. Near Very Good condition. Falt, uncreased spine. No underlining or margin notes. Crease to the corner of the last page. Pages at the end are a little wavy in the margin, but NO stain. Photo illustrated. Footnotes. From the rear cover: "This is the first Holocaust book to rise above all us-against-them polarities to embrace a holistic perspective, an unabashedly heart-centered stance! It not only refrains from demonizing Nazis but lays the burden of responsibility for their crimes squarely on a Judeo-Christian legacy, and the misparenting tradition that it deifies. Chapter 1juxtaposes the childhoods of Anne Frank and Adolf Hitler… Chapter 2 exposes the Nuremberg Trials as the most egregious double bind in the history of civilization. Chapter 3 unveils the practice of conditional love as the taproot of the racist mindset, and draws a series of haunting parallels between Adolf Hitler, macho demigod, and Marilyn Monroe, supreme sex goddess. Chapter 4 tracks the shifting dynamic that empowers some victims of child abuse to be productive members, even pillars of society, while others are driven to be troublemakers or public menaces. Chapter 5 identifies Abraham, the founder of Judaism, as the patron saint of the captured Nazis who are put on trial at Nuremberg. Chapter 6 shows how the Holocaust resolves into a dance between perpetrator and victim… Chapter 7 shows how Auschwitz is the logical culmination of a religious tradition that harks back to the Binding of Isaac and the Crucifixion of Christ.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Softcover. Near Very Good condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. ix, 240pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
Synopsis
Discover the fascinating answers to these perennial questions Why does an accomplished people - or an honor student - suddenly go off on a rampage? If Hitler was an abused child, why don't more abused children turn into Hitlers? Why are the Jews such magnets of blame? Tracking the plight of children as the most systematically persecuted minority on earth, Neville Raymond traces the roots of prejudice and racism to a form of parenting known as conditional love. Along the way he shows how Judaism and Christianity are patterned after two different models of abuse. Wide-ranging in its historical grasp, yet as timely as today's headlines, this book reinvents our view of the Holocaust. Future generations will look back at this publication as a watershed. There is the divisive, finger-pointing era before the The Genesis of Genocide and the kinder, more inclusive world that comes after. A treasure chest of immensely quotable lines, heart-searching insights and jaw-dropping revelations, The Genesis of Genocide is destined to be talked about for years to come. Here is an open-minded investigation into the astonishing links that made the Holocaust an unavoidable outcome of our cultural and religious past. And here, at last, is a heart-centered hammer for breaking the cultural cycle of abuse, and ensuring that another Holocaust - or an epidemic of little ones - does not have to be an unavoidable part of our future.
