Description
Suggests that the discussion on the Holocaust can be broken down into three main issues: the centrality of anti-semitiism in the Final Solution; the importance of the Jewish voice and sources for our understanding of the Final Solution; and the experience of the Jews not only as victims but as people living their lives prior to being killed as part of the continuing process of Jewish history. The unfolding of these issues is discussed through 65 years of writing and research on the Holocaust.
