Summary: | Sixty years ago, the Holocaust had practically no visibility in examinations of the Second World War. Yet today it is understood to be not only one of the defining moments of the 20th century but also a touchstone in a quest for directions on how to avoid such catastrophes. This book challenges the notion that there are definitive lessons to be deduced from the destruction of European Jewry. Instead, it shows how its lessons are constantly challenged, debated, altered, and reinterpreted. -- Publisher description |
