'This vital history shatters many myths about the Nazi genocide . .
. . surprising . . . provocative . . . fizzes with ideas. Even if
you think you know the subject, you'll probably find something here
to make you think' Sunday Times 'Erudite...remarkable' The Observer
'Outstanding' The Telegraph An authoritative, revelatory new
history of the Holocaust, from one of the leading scholars of his
generation The Holocaust is much-discussed, much-memorialized and
much-portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that
have been overlooked. Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust and
across the world, this sweeping history deepens our understanding.
Dan Stone reveals how the idea of 'industrial murder' is
incomplete: many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of
ways. He outlines the depth of collaboration across Europe, arguing
persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the Holocaust as an
exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma
the Holocaust engendered, and why Jewish suffering has yet to be
fully reckoned with. And he makes clear that the kernel to
understanding Nazi thinking and action is genocidal ideology,
providing a deep analysis of its origins. Drawing on decades of
research, The Holocaust: An Unfinished History upends much of what
we think we know about the Holocaust. Stone draws on Nazi
documents, but also on diaries, post-war testimonies and even
fiction, urging that, in our age of increasing nationalism and
xenophobia, we must understand the true history of the Holocaust.
