Landau Ronnie S. - The Nazi Holocaust Its History And Meaning - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The Nazi Holocaust is one of the most momentous events in human history. Yet it remains on many levels a baffling and unfathomable mystery. By shunning simplistic 'explanations Ronnie Landau has set out in a clear thought - provoking and enlightened fashion to mediate betweeen this vast often unapproachable subject and the reader who wrestles with its meaning. Locating the Holocaust within a number of different contexts - Jewish history German history genocide in the modern age the larger story of human bigotry and the triumph of ideology over conscience - Landau penetrates to the very heart of its moral and historical significance. Deeply concerned lest the Holocaust as a 'unique phenomenon be cordoned off from the rest of human history and ghettoized within the highly charged realm of Jewish experience' he is at pains to show that transmitting understanding of the Holocaust is about connecting with all humanity. Intended both for the general reader and for students and academics (especially in history psychology literature and the humanities) this work is an important breakthrough in the struggle to perpetuate the memory of a tragedy which the world is all too ready to forget.
