The Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews of Europe in the 1940s is an event that staggered the history of the world and left an atrocious scar that will never disappear. Four decades later, the human concerns of this catastrophe remain intense.

For the first time a Christian and a Jew have collaborated to create a powerful, monumental work that explores the historical process that produced the Holocaust. They develop an analysis of the historical roots of the Holocaust, its rudimentary character in human civilization, and its unparalleled importance in determining what the fate of the world will be.

Distinctively coauthored by a Christian scholar and a Jewish scholar, this monumental, interdisciplinary study explores the various ways in which the Holocaust has been studied and assesses its continuing significance. The authors develop an analysis of the Holocaust's historical roots, its shattering impact on human civilization, and its decisive importance in determining the fate of the world. This revised edition takes into account developments in Holocaust studies since the first edition was published.
