The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies

Andrew N. Koss Religious Studies Review What the book brings instead are useful, intelligent, judicious, and lucidly written summaries of the current scholarly consensus on key issues within the field. The ideal user-I deliberately say user and not reader-is a scholar of some related field, who, for purposes of research or teaching, needs to get a grasp on a particular aspect of the Holocaust without having to master a large body of secondary literature.

Donald G. Schilling, Holocaust and Genocide Studies To capture the current state of the field, the editors invited contributions from Holocaust scholars of the second and third generations a decision that pays off handsomely ... It should be purchased by every university library in institutions where courses on the Holocaust are taught.
