Distinctively coauthored by a Christian scholar and a Jewish scholar, this monumental, interdisciplinary study explores the various ways in which the Holocaust has been studied and assesses its continuing significance. The authors develop an analysis of the Holocaust's historical roots, its shattering impact on human civilization, and its decisive importance in determining the fate of the world. This revised edition takes into account developments in Holocaust studies since the first edition was published.

Professor Rubenstein was my most fascinating and challenging,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Approaches to Auschwitz: The Holocaust and Its Legacy (Paperback)
Professor Rubenstein was my most fascinating and challenging professor at FSU during the 1970s. His range of intellectual inquiry makes him a "Renaissance" man. He has written numerous provocative and important books.And I am re-reading the books thirty plus years later. This book though is more recent. And this is one of the best overview type of books on the Holocaust.
