The Image of (In)humanity in the World War Nonfiction

Abstract

The article describes the complex and problematic nature of man. The aim of the book is to answer the question: what is the man? What hides deep in the nature of man if it justifies people to do evil, by some others considered to be good. These kind of questions come to mind when we investigate WWII that marked its place in human history as the moment of Nazi genocide; although we should remember that every era shows the man from various perspectives, emphasizing both the good and the evil. From the very beginnings of mankind, poets, writers, and artists try to capture the picture of man, so we could better understand not only ourselves but the other people, as well.
