This diversity in theoretical perspectives and the way each of them confronts and addresses the Holocaust results in a highly readable and accessible introduction to the field of Holocaust studies. In all articles the reader is introduced to the developments, trends and major debates within the respective disciplines regarding the writing of the history of the Holocaust during the last 60 years. Besides, at the end of each chapter there is a short list with suggestions for further reading, which offers the reader the possibility to further dive into the subject s/he is interested in...In conclusion, the volume gives a good overview of how the thinking about ways to deal with the Holocaust has progressed. It is highly useful for scholars who want to take it as a basis to find out what literature has been published in the field of Holocaust writing, what perspectives have been taken, what problems have been debated, and what is the current state of the art. It is a broad overview and offers many openings for those who want to dig deeper into the material. -- Mare Van Den Eeden, Central European University, Budapest European Review of History
