The Holocaust and the Historians cover

The renowned author of The War Against the Jews sets out to solve a historiographical mystery. Why has the mass murder of European Jews been overlooked or trivialized by historians throughout the world? In a forceful, outspoken work, Lucy Dawidowicz looks for explanations.

Professor Dawidowicz’s work embodies high standards of scholarship. The analysis is shrewd and generally fair, and the comparisons often brilliantly perceptive… A valuable contribution to the literature of the Second World War and the Holocaust. * New York Times Book Review *
Ms. Dawidowicz is always incisive, sharp, analytical and honest… Her analysis especially of German historiography is fascinating. * American Jewish History *
Marshalling an impressive array of scholarship, [Dawidowicz] takes the reader through a careful examination of the writings about the holocaust in England and the US, Germany, the USSR, and Poland. * Review of Books and Religion *
