Fascism, Nazism and the Holocaust Challenging Histories Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right Series

This book contains essays on Fascism, Nazism and the Holocaust by distinguished scholar Professor Dan Stone.

It examines issues such as race science and the racial state, Nazi race ideology, slave labour, concentration camps, British reaction to the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust, the search for missing persons in the chaos of postwar Europe and the postwar revival of fascism. Though mainly focused on Nazi Germany, it also makes comparisons with other fascist movements and regimes in Romania and elsewhere.

This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of antisemitism, fascism, Nazism, World War II, genocide studies and the Holocaust.
