| Summary: | Increasingly, scholars are coming to the realization that each victim and survivor of the Holocaust experienced the Nazi genocidal project in a unique way and traveled his or her own path either to death or to survival. Nothing illustrates this more convincingly than the latest edition in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's series of encyclopedias of camps and ghettos. Until recently, the Holocaust in Eastern Europe has remained under-studied, though the region was home to the majority of victims. As a result of increased scholarly attention and the opening of archives in the former Soviet Union, the subject is beginning to come to the forefront of Holocaust studies. |
