Moving beyond the well-established problems and public discussions
of the Holocaust, this collection of essays, written by some of the
leading German historians of the younger generation, leaves behind
the increasingly agitated arguments of the last years and
substantially broadens, and in many areas revises, our knowledge of
the Holocaust. Unlike previous studies, which have focused on
whether the Holocaust could best be understood as the "fulfillment
of a world view" or as a process of "cumulative radicalization, "
these articles provide an overview of how situational elements and
gradual processes of radicalization were variously combined with
ever-changing objectives and fundamental ideological convictions.
Focusing on the developments in Poland, the Soviet Union,
Serbia, and France the authors find that heretofore we have
actually had very little knowledge of many aspects of this history,
particularly with regards to the specific forces that motivated
German policy in the individual regions of Central and Eastern
Europe. Thus the National-Socialist extermination policy is not
seen as a secret undertaking but rather as part of the German
conquest and occupation policy in Europe.
