Abstract:
The explosion of interest in the Holocaust in the last decade means that it is no longer possible for any one individual to master the enormous literature on this subject. This new collection of essays by leading scholars in their fields, including Jeremy Noakes, Tony Kushner, Martin Dean and Christopher Browning, provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of Holocaust historiography available. Covering both long-established historical disputes - such as the role of Hitler in the decision for the 'Final Solution' - as well as research questions and methodologies that have emerged recently - such as topography, gender, 'Aryanization', collaboration and memory - this collection will be of enormous benefit to students and scholars alike. All the essays are previously unpublished and offer the most cutting-edge assessments of the growing discipline of Holocaust Studies.
