In this lecture, Professor Peter Hayes will detail how and why the Nazi regime managed to kill an unprecedented number of people with ferocious speed, yet without applying significant quantities of German personnel or resources.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Hayes is Professor of History and German and Theodore Zev Weiss Holocaust Educational Foundation Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies at Northwestern University and a former chair of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Among his thirteen books are <em>The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies<\/em> (co-edited with John K. Roth), <em>How Was It Possible? A Holocaust Reader<\/em>, and <em>Why? Explaining the Holocaust<\/em>, which also has appeared in German and Spanish translations and shortly will be in Chinese, Polish, and Slovak as well. A prize-winning teacher, he lectures widely on German and Holocaust history both in the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Professor Hayes <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr-temp\/2020\/02\/03\/peter-hayes-named-the-2019-2020-shapiro-scholar-in-residence\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qo4l0gJpUFo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":4095,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-lecture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Makeshift Murder: The Holocaust at its Peak - Peter Hayes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2020\/03\/05\/makeshift-murder-the-holocaust-at-its-peak\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Makeshift Murder: The Holocaust at its Peak - Peter Hayes - Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2020\/03\/05\/makeshift-murder-the-holocaust-at-its-peak\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-03-05T19:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-03T22:14:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2023\/07\/Hayes-lecture-image-belzec-memoriale.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1093\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mstroud\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2020\/03\/05\/makeshift-murder-the-holocaust-at-its-peak\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2020\/03\/05\/makeshift-murder-the-holocaust-at-its-peak\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"mstroud\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/#\/schema\/person\/c7140a1ede22d56d41a34683c7926fba\"},\"headline\":\"Makeshift Murder: The Holocaust at its Peak &#8211;
