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, 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, 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.
'Ronnie Landau has written a quite remarkable book.' - The Times
'Ideal for the general reader and for students alike.' - Jewish Chronicle
'Subtle but lucid…a most stimulating synthesis.' - Times Educational Supplement
'Landau comes as near as it is possible to making the Holocaust comprehensible…essential.' - The Jewish Quarterly
