Reviews

'This is a rich collection on the state of Holocaust studies.'--Sanford Lakoff

Saul Friedlander is rightly regarded as one of the very most important scholars of the Holocaust, a superb narrative historian and a hugely sensitive theoretician of his discipline. Christian Wiese and Paul Betts are to be congratulated on constructing a fitting monument to his influence, bringing together a wonderful cast of scholars who have achieved prominence in their own right...Wide-ranging and intelligent, the volume is coherent and its essays concise: it demands a wide audience because it will benefit a spectrum of disciplines, and readers from the uninitiated to the expert.--Donald Bloxham, Professor of Modern History at the University of Edinburgh, UK
