This book combines the contentious and often unsavory Tower of
Babel of scholars' voices in the field of Holocaust and genocide
studies. It is essential for scholars, students, and readers
interested in the Holocaust and its relationship to other instances
of politically inspired mass murder.
It has been nearly fifty years since the collapse of the Nazi

It has been nearly fifty years since the collapse of the Nazi
regime; is there any longer a point to presenting for the
apprehension and prosecution of surviving Nazi war criminals? In
this carefully argued book, Alan Rosenbaum makes it clear that
there is. This book is an important contribution to Jewish and
Holocaust studies, to political and social thought, and to moral
theory, arguing that we must continue to pursue the prosecutorial
agenda as an investment in the moral climate in which we wish to
live.
In essays written specifically for this volume, distinguished
contributors assess highly charged and fundamental questions about
the Holocaust: Is it unique? How can it be compared with other
instances of genocide? What constitutes genocide, and how should
the international community respond? On one side of the dispute are
those who fear that if the Holocaust is seen as the worst case of
genocide ever, its character will diminish the sufferings of other
persecuted groups. On the other side are those who argue that
unless the Holocaust's uniqueness is established, the inevitable
tendency will be to diminish its abiding significance. The editor's
introductions provide the contextual considerations for
understanding this multidimensional dispute and suggest that there
are universal lessons to be learned from studying the Holocaust.
The third edition brings this volume up to date and includes new
readings on the Cambodian and Rwandan genocides, common themes in
genocide ideologies, and Iran's reaction to the Holocaust. In a
world where genocide persists and the global community continues to
struggle with the implications of international crime, prosecution,
justice, atonement, reparation, and healing, the issues addressed
in this book are as relevant as ever.

Evaluating the Jewish Holocaust is by no means a simple matter, and
one of the most controversial questions for academics is whether
there have been any historical parallels for it. Have Armenians,
Gypsies, American Indians, or others undergone a comparable
genocide? In this fiercely controversial volume, distinguished
scholars offer new discussions of this question. Presenting a wide
range of strongly held views, they provide no easy consensus. Some
critics contend that if the Holocaust is seen as fundamentally
different in kind from other genocides or mass deaths, the
suffering of other persecuted groups will be diminished. Others
argue that denying the uniqueness of the Holocaust will trivialize
it. Alan S. Rosenbaum's introductions provide a much-needed context
for readers to come to terms with this multi-dimensional dispute,
to help them understand why it has recently intensified, and to
enable them to appreciate what universal lessons might be gleaned
from studying the Holocaust. This volume makes an important
contribution to our comprehension of one of the defining events of
modern history. It should be essential reading for scholars,
students, and general readers interested in the Holocaust and its
relationship to other instances of politically inspired mass
murder.

As memoirs become increasingly popular, it is somewhat surprising
that so little attention has been given to one of the most notable
manifestations of memoirs in modern time: the Bloomsbury Group's
'Memoir Club'. Leading Bloomsbury scholar S.P. Rosenbaum collected
most of the surviving memoirs by the group, including those by
first members Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Roger Fry, J.M. Keynes,
Lytton Strachey, E. M. Forster, Vanessa and Clive Bell, Molly and
Desmond MacCarthy and Duncan Grant.
Using this original archival research, Rosenbaum had written a
large part of a history of the Memoir Club before his death in May
2012. Edited by distinguished Woolf scholar James M. Haule, who
provides an introduction, an afterword, and an annotated list of
memoirs, "The Bloomsbury Group Memoir Club" offers a perceptive
chronicle of the Memoir Club's origins and first years, an
important addition to our understanding not just of the work of the
Club's participants, but also of twentieth-century autobiography
and the history of Bloomsbury more generally.
Georgian Bloomsbury completes the literary history of Old Bloomsbury that began with Victorian Bloomsbury (1987) and continued with Edwardian Bloomsbury (1994). Covering the years between the First Post-Impressionist Exhibition and World War I, the book describes and analyzes interrelated literary works by Roger Fry, Desmond MacCarthy, Clive Bell, E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Leonard Woolf, and Virginia Woolf. The works considered include fiction, criticism, essays, and polemics as well as autobiography, journalism and literary history that members of the Bloomsbury Group wrote between 1910 and 1914.
Much of the widespread interest in the Bloomsbury Group over the
past quarter-century has been biographical, yet without the Group's
works there would be little interest in their lives. The studies in
literary and intellectual history and collected in this volume are
chiefly concerned with these works. Subjects covered in the eight
essays include an analysis of the philosophical assumption of
Virginia Woolf's fiction, an assessment of J M Keyne's account of D
H Lawrence's reactions to Cambridge, discussions of the literary
backgrounds of E M Forster's Aspects of the Novel and Virginia
Woolf's A Room of One's Own , a consideration of the Woolfs' work
as printers and publishers, and a history of Ludwig Wittgenstein's
relations with the Bloomsbury Group.

'This is the second volume of a formidable enterprise, and part of
a series of publications by the same author that may entitle him to
the position as the leading scholar of the Bloomsbury
Group...Rosenbaum has managed to write with freshness and insight
about Forster's novels, no matter how much they have been analyzed
before...The next volume will deal with the effect of that
exhibition upon the Group's writing and much more, I am sure, of
its early literary history. The work is eagerly awaited.' - Peter
Stanksy, English Literature in Transition 1880-1920 Edwardian
Bloomsbury is a continuation of the early literary history of the
Bloomsbury Group begun with Victorian Bloomsbury, but it can also
be read independently as an account of the Group's interrelated
writings during the first decade of the twentieth century.
