Travels across time, place, and subject to ponder the meaning of the Holocaust for contemporary cultures.

Good book

I enjoyed this book, but it is difficult to read at times due to the numerous footnotes. But, the information is interesting, informative, and eye-opening. The author does an excellent job of presenting multiple sides and theories of the holocaust.
