This landmark book was first published in Germany, provoking both
acclaim and controversy. In this ""history of historiography,""
Nicolas Berg addresses the work of German and German-Jewish
historians in the first three decades of post-World War II Germany.
He examines how they perceived - and failed to perceive - the
Holocaust and how they interpreted and misinterpreted that
historical fact using an arsenal of terms and concepts, arguments
and explanations. This English-language translation is also a
shortened and reorganized edition, which includes a new
introduction by Berg reviewing and commenting on the response to
the German editions. Notably, in this American edition, discussion
of historian Joseph Wulf and his colleague and fellow Holocaust
survivor Leon Poliakov has been united in one chapter. And special
care has been taken to make clear to English speakers the questions
raised about German historiographical writing. Translator Joel Golb
comments, ""From 1945 to the present, the way historians have
approached the Holocaust has posed deep-reaching problems regarding
choice of language...This book is consequently as much about
language as it is about facts.
