Holocaust Critical Historical Approaches

Provides the first overview of the Holocaust that is comprehensive, cohesive but also critical and independently minded. Summarises and criticises the huge body of scholarship on the Holocaust, looking at Holocaust victim testimony and its uses, perpetrators and the perpertration process and the role of the bystander. Approaches the Holocaust as a historical event, but also through literary studies, cultural studies, film studies and geographical perspectives, highlighting the importance of the Holocaust to other disciplines, not just historical studies. A highly readable and challenging book that has an authority and breadth of coverage lacking in other shorter, single volume treatments of the Holocaust.Bloxham, Donald is the author of 'Holocaust Critical Historical Approaches' with ISBN 9780719037795 and ISBN 0719037794.
