Writing the Holocaust: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Writing the Holocaust" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Writing the Holocaust provides students and teachers with an accessibly written overview of the key themes and major theoretical developments which continue to inform the nature of historical writing on the Holocaust.

Holocaust studies is at a paradox: while historians of the Holocaust defend it as a legitimate and well-defined area of research, they write against a complex political and ideological background that undermines any claim for it as a normative field of historical study. Writing the Holocaust offers a lucid enquiry into this complex field by demonstrating the impact of current theories from the humanities and social sciences upon the treatment of Holocaust studies.
