The Banality of Good and Evil by David R Blumenthal
People who helped exterminate Jews during the shoah (Hebrew for holocaust) often claimed that they only did what was expected of them. Intrigued by hearing the same response from individuals who rescued Jews, the author proposes that the notion of ordinariness used to characterize Nazi evil is equally applicable to goodness.-

Learned, eloquent, and engagingEthics Blumenthal has written an unusually well reasoned, well researched, and well presented book involving his post-Holocaust moral and religious reflections on preventing future genocides ... Blumenthal's effort to integrate his science-based findings about values with selected prosocial teachings in Judaism and to commend this approach for those of other faiths adds a traditional richness to his work. Choice It is a pleasure and a privilege to offer this review of this excellent book... Blumenthal is to be commended for the brilliance and the erudition with which he has handled a very difficult and provocative subject in this masterful work. Conservative Judaism
