PELICAN BOOKS THE HOLOCAUST - DAN STONE GEBUNDEN

'This vital history shatters many myths about the Nazi genocide . . . . surprising . . .
provocative . . . fizzes with ideas. Even if you think you know the subject  you'll probably
find something here to make you think' Sunday Times 'Erudite...remarkable' The
Observer'Outstanding' The Telegraph An authoritative  revelatory new history of the Holocaust 
from one of the leading scholars of his generation The Holocaust is much-discussed 
much-memorialized and much-portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that have been
overlooked. Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust and across the world  this sweeping history
deepens our understanding. Dan Stone reveals how the idea of 'industrial murder' is incomplete:
many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of ways. He outlines the depth of
collaboration across Europe  arguing persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the
Holocaust as an exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma the
Holocaust engendered  and why Jewish suffering has yet to be fully reckoned with. And he makes
clear that the kernel to understanding Nazi thinking and action is genocidal ideology 
providing a deep analysis of its origins. Drawing on decades of research  The Holocaust: An
Unfinished History upends much of what we think we know about the Holocaust. Stone draws on
Nazi documents  but also on diaries  post-war testimonies and even fiction  urging that  in our
age of increasing nationalism and xenophobia  we must understand the true history of the
Holocaust.
