The Holocaust is frequently depicted in isolation by its historians. A restricted understanding of 'uniqueness' has set the Holocaust apart from history and set up barriers to a better understanding of the racial onslaught. This book combines a detailed re-appraisal of the development of the genocide of the Jews, a full consideration of Nazi policies against other population groups, and a comparative analysis of other modern genocides. The Holocaust is portrayed as the culmination of a much wider history of European genocide and ethnic cleansing, from the late 19 th century onwards. The book shows that an explanation for the Holocaust rooted exclusively in Nazism and anti-semitism is inadequate when set against one that is both prepared to give due weight to the immediate circumstances of the Second World War in eastern Europe and to situate the Jewish genocide within the broader patterns of human behavior
