"The Holocaust proceeded on a mortal accounting—a demographic balance sheet—of those lives worth living or sacrificing, and those unworthy of life and unable or unwilling to make the ultimate sacrifice. Richard Koenigsberg, in his monograph Hitler’s Holocaust: The Logic of War and Genocide, argues that Nazi ideology revolved around the "glorification of sacrificial death.”
