Summary: | Anyone who meets Michael Marrus, a valued colleague and good friend for several decades, is likely to be impressed by his deep voice. It resounds throughout his Lessons of the Holocaust, which, in ways both persuasive and paradoxical, plumbs the depths of the fraught but vital topic that its title identifies., This book recapitulates and extends Marrus's distinguished career as Holocaust historian—a career he describes as “a never-ending quest to get to the bottom of things” (p. 174). Two outlooks govern Marrus's version of that quest. |
