Reviews

A work of exceptional breadth, clarity and rich detail that will engage beginning students and will be an invaluable resource for advanced students seeking a synthesis of the complex history of the Holocaust. This outstanding text is shaped equally by brilliant pedagogical organization and meticulous scholarship. -Marilyn J. Harran, Professor of Religious Studies and History; Director, Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education, Chapman University Professor Crowe has produced a compelling and up-to-date history of the Holocaust, one that is clearly written and comprehensive. He begins by examining the origins of the 'longest hatred' of the Jews, proceeds to carry the reader through the subsequent horrors of the persecution, and ends with the war crimes trials of the perpetrators. Students will be in his debt. -Karl A. Schleunes, University of North Carolina at Greensboro; author of The Twisted Road to Auschwitz and Legislating the Holocaust David M. Crowe's The Holocaust is a comprehensive and clear history of the much studied event. Subtitled Roots, History, and Aftermath, it delivers on that ambitious promise by exploring the antecedents and consequences of the Holocaust as well as the murder of the European Jews. The quality work of a mature scholar, Crowe's insights are balanced and nuanced, informed by deep learning and well documented in primary and secondary sources. The book will serve both students and scholars well. Both will appreciate his mastery of complex material and his ability to concisely consider even the most controversial of debates. A detailed work that never gets lost in its detail, it offers precision yet never loses sight of the larger story that must be told and retold. -Michael Berenbaum, Director, Sigi Ziering Institute; Professor of Jewish Studies, American Jewish University; Former Project Director and Director of the Research Institute, US Holocaust Memorial Museum
