Description
In this chapter the Holocaust is placed in the wider field of genocide studies and in so doing a new interpretation of the destruction of Europe's Jews is offered. The Holocaust is partially dismantled into national and regional components in order to illustrate that these components came together in a way that was neither inevitable nor purely fortuitous.
