Abstract:
Claims that in Germany there is a profound abyss between the historiographic perception and the prevalent image in society of the history of the Holocaust. Research is unable to draw a final conclusion; on the contrary, nobody is able to survey the huge quantity of research which appears every day on Nazism and the annihilation of the Jews. As to the qualitative aspect of research, mentions the frequent lack of use of original material. Deals with three important works published recently, by Michael Burleigh, Henry Friedlander, and Götz Aly, as examples of modern research on Nazism.

,
