Chris­ti­na Mo­ri­na/Krijn, Berg­hahn Books 2019, p. 336), he sta­ted: “[M]y over­all im­pres­si­on […] is that it would be worthwhile to pro­ceed more con­sistent­ly to­ward a full-​fledged his­to­ri­ciza­ti­on of the by­stan­der. In order to get an even more com­pre­hen­si­ve and rea­listic pic­tu­re, it might be use­ful to fur­ther con­nect the ap­pearan­ce of the by­stan­der as a so­cial phe­no­me­non under Na­zism with its post fac­tum in­ven­ti­on as a his­to­rio­gra­phi­cal fi­gu­re.”
