Each name for the mass murder of European Jewry implies a certain analysis of what happened and why.The different names attached suggest shifts in how the event has been interpreted.This chapter attempts to trace the trajectory of Holocaust historiography, from the first Jewish histories of the Holocaust to the present, in order to give a sense of where the historiography stands now and how it got there.
