Review:

"It serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Holocaust but also adds depth to current debate, both geographically and topically, by covering issues that have previously been under-investigated." Simon Brown, The Historical Association

"In this handsome volume Friedman facilitates questioning the 'whys' by compiling 43 scholarly articles...uniformly high quality in scholarly inquiry, research, writing, and above all mastery of [their] topic."  - Valdis O Lumans in European History Quarterly
