The Nazi Holocaust is often said to dominate the study of modern
Jewish history. Engel demonstrates that, to the contrary,
historians of the Jews have often insisted that the Holocaust be
sequestered from their field, assigning it instead to historians of
Europe, Germany, or the Third Reich. He shows that reasons for this
counterintuitive situation lie in the evolution of the Jewish
historical profession since the 1920s.
This one-of-a-kind study takes readers on a tour of
twentieth-century scholars of the history of European Jewry, and
the social and political contexts in which they worked, in order to
understand why many have declined to view their subject from the
vantage point of Jews' encounter with the Third Reich. Engel argues
vehemently against this separation and describes ways in which a
few exceptional scholars have used the Holocaust to illuminate key
problems in the Jewish past.
