Professor Bartrop continues his publication agenda of important texts addressing the Holocaust. The Holocaust in 100 Histories is no exception. For students coming to grips with the enormity of the Holocaust, perhaps for the first time, the topics chosen should open doors to broadening their own understanding and thus enabling them to pursue their own questions and research.
