Book Reviews of Reading the Holocaust
Book Review: This is a book about history.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book assumes that the reader has prior experience with holocaust literature. It is not necessarily an overview of the holocaust, but rather a moral and historiographical exploration of the way the Holocaust can and has been reported. The writer has a deft touch on obviously sensitive materials, and addresses one of the modern historian's most troubling issues: how does one critically analyze the veracity and moral actions of those who have been deliberately tormented out of their humanity? From what perspective can one objectively judge monsters and their victims?This is a thoughtful addition to a reading list of holocaust literature, and a profound text on the calling of the historian.
