Few scholarly fields have developed in recent decades as rapidly
and vigorously as Holocaust Studies. At the start of the
twenty-first century, the persecution and murder perpetrated by the
Nazi regime have become the subjects of an enormous literature in
multiple academic disciplines and a touchstone of public and
intellectual discourse in such diverse fields as politics, ethics
and religion. Forward-looking and multi-disciplinary, this handbook
draws on the work of an international team of forty-seven
outstanding scholars.
The handbook is thematically divided into five broad sections. Part
One, Enablers, concentrates on the broad and necessary contextual
conditions for the Holocaust. Part Two, Protagonists, concentrates
on the principal persons and groups involved in the Holocaust and
attempts to disaggregate the conventional interpretive categories
of perpetrator, victim, and bystander. It examines the agency of
the Nazi leaders and killers and of those involved in resisting and
surviving the assault. Part Three, Settings, concentrates on the
particular places, sites, and physical circumstances where the
actions of the Holocaust's protagonists and the forms of
persecution were literally grounded. Part Four, Representations,
engages complex questions about how the Holocaust can and should be
grasped and what meaning or lack of meaning might be attributed to
events through historical analysis, interpretation of texts,
artistic creation and criticism, and philosophical and religious
reflection. Part Five, Aftereffects, explores the Holocaust's
impact on politics and ethics, education and religion, national
identities and international relations, the prospects for genocide
prevention, and the defense of human rights.
