This chapter investigates recent writing on the Holocaust. Surveying the field of recent Holocaust literature after the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War leaves the impression that histories of the Final Solution are as subject to the academic trivialities as those in other fields. Just as Claude Lanzmann's Shoah stands head and shoulders above other filmmakers' efforts to document the Holocaust, collections of testimonies from survivors have a more lasting value than many of the recent histories. Some of the recent works are more devoted to current political questions, which will make them seem dated in only a few years. Meanwhile, others have made what seems to be a more lasting contribution to people's detailed knowledge of the Final Solution.

Keywords:   Holocaust, Holocaust literature, Second World War, Final Solution, Holocaust films, survivor testimonies
