| Abstract
|
:
|
Berger analyzes the construction of the Holocaust, first as a social policy of the Nazis, and later as several varying layers of historical memory. He discusses ways in which historians have studied the subject, and then analyzes conditions before and during the War contributing to the Holocaust, including the foundation of anti-Semitism in Christian ideas about Jews ; the settings and processes which enabled the Nazis to implement the Final Solution ; and resistance by Jews and gentiles. A discussion of the postwar legacy of the Holocaust focuses on interpretations in Israel, the German Federal Republic, and the U.S.
