Editorial Reviews

Ms. Dawidowicz is always incisive, sharp, analytical and honest… Her analysis especially of German historiography is fascinating.

American Jewish History

Professor Dawidowicz’s work embodies high standards of scholarship. The analysis is shrewd and generally fair, and the comparisons often brilliantly perceptive… A valuable contribution to the literature of the Second World War and the Holocaust.

New York Times Book Review

Marshalling an impressive array of scholarship, [Dawidowicz] takes the reader through a careful examination of the writings about the holocaust in England and the US, Germany, the USSR, and Poland.
