The Holocaust: Origins, Implementation, Aftermath Hardcover - 2000

by Omer Bartov (Editor)


From the publisher

Holocaust: Origins, Implementation, Aftermath presents a critical and important study of the Holocaust. Complete with an introduction that summarizes the state of the field, this book contains major reinterpretations by leading Holocaust authors along with key texts on testimony, memory, and justice after the catastrophe.

First line

Those who watched Claude Lanzmann's film Shoah (1985) will recall the imposing figure of Raul Hilberg, the only scholar who features in this reconstruction of Holocaust memory, as he leafs through mounds of Nazi documents and remarks that hardly any of the specific anti-Jewish measures that Hitler's henchmen came up with were, as such, original.
