What is the Holocaust? Where Hitler and his executioners sadistic psychopaths? Were ordinary Germans morally culpable for murdering millions of innocent victims? Where was God during this tragedy? This volume seeks to explore these and other ethical, cultural, and religious questions withing a historical context. Beginning with the origin and growth of anti-Semitism, this historical survey continues with an account of the various stages of the Nazi onslaught, and concludes with a consideration of the legacy of the Holocaust in the modern world.
