Abstract:
A lecture delivered in 1993 at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. Reflects on researching and teaching the Holocaust. For many reasons, Holocaust history has become one of the most sophisticated and methodologically self-conscious fields of historical study; it makes complicated demands upon researchers, teachers, and students alike. Dwells on various problems of Holocaust historiography: the definition of the Holocaust, Jewish resistance, the origins of the Final Solution and the role of German antisemitism in it, and other issues. Expresses doubts that any "lessons" can be learned from the Holocaust.
