Studies in Contemporary Jewry: XIII: The Fate of the European Jews, 1939-1945 : Continuity or Contingency?

This volume of the annual Studies in Contemporary Jewry series presents essays on the origins of the Holocaust. With contributions from many of the world's leading Holocaust scholars, The Fate of the European Jews, 1933-1945 provides multiple perspectives on the question of whether the Holocaust can best be explained as an inevitable result of Europe's anti-Semitic history, or as a tragic historical mutation.
