The article focuses on the book "Essays on Hitler's Europe," by István Deák. The incomprehensibility of the Holocaust is no less true for being a truism. And it extends beyond the obvious historiographical no man's land. In the book, Deák raises some important questions like "Why did Bulgaria refuse to deport Jews from within its own borders, yet give up practically all the Jews who lived in the territories it occupied? Why did Romania, one of only two Nazi satellites that carried out mass exterminations on its own initiative, stop persecuting Jews well before it turned against Germany?" and so on.
