The Holocaust is frequently depicted in isolation by its
historians. Some of them believe that to place it in any kind of
comparative context risks diminishing its uniqueness and even
detracts from the enormity of the Nazi crime. In reality, such a
restricted understanding of "uniqueness" has pulled the Holocaust
apart from history and set up barriers to a better understanding of
the racial onslaught unleashed within the Third Reich and its
conquered territories.
Working against the grain of much earlier writing, this innovative
new history combines a detailed re-appraisal of the development of
the genocide of the Jews, a full consideration of Nazi policies
against other population groups, and a comparative analysis of
other modern genocides.
The Holocaust is portrayed as the culmination of a much wider
history of European genocide and ethnic cleansing, from the late
nineteenth century onwards. Ultimately, Bloxham shows that an
explanation for the Holocaust rooted exclusively in Nazism and
anti-Semitism is inadequate when set against one that is both
prepared to give due weight to the immediate circumstances of the
Second World War in eastern Europe and to situate the Jewish
genocide within the broader patterns of human behavior in the
late-modern world.
