Lessons of the Holocaust by Michael R. Marrus (Paperback, 2015)

Although difficult to imagine, sixty years ago the Holocaust had practically visibility in examinations of the Second World War. Yet today it is understood to be t only one of the defining moments of the twentieth century but also a touchstone in a quest for directions on how to avoid such catastrophes. In Lessons of the Holocaust, the distinguished historian Michael R. Marrus challenges the tion that there are definitive lessons to be deduced from the destruction of European Jewry. Instead, drawing on decades of studying, writing about, and teaching the Holocaust, he shows how its lessons are constantly challenged, debated, altered, and reinterpreted. A succinct, stimulating analysis by a world-rewned historian, Lessons of the Holocaust is the perfect guide for the general reader to the historical and moral controversies which infuse the interpretation of the Holocaust and its significance.
