À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The Nazi murder of the Jews of Europe challenges human understanding. Historians have been working for decades to make that awful event understandable. This lucid, matter-of-fact survey of the encounter between the Third Reich and European Jewry describes what historians have learned and points out the difficulties they face in interpreting the ever-expanding documentary record.
