However, the quest to find a rational explanation for this seemingly irrational course of events has led to both controversy and continued efforts at assigning meaning to this most horrible of events. Examining oral histories provided by survivors, written accounts and explanations, scholarly analysis, and commonly held assumptions, Bolkosky challenges the usual collection of platitudes about the lessons or the meanings we can derive from the Holocaust. Indeed, he argues against the kind of reductionism that such a quest for meaning has led to, and he analyzes the nature of the perpetrators in order to support his position on the inconclusivity of the study of the Holocaust.\n\nDealing with the perpetrators of the Holocaust as manifestations of twentieth century civilized trends foreseen by the likes of Kafka, Ortega y Gassett, Arthur Koestler and Max Weber, Bolkosky suggests a new nature of evil and criminality along the lines developed by Hannah Arendt, Raul Hilberg, and Richard Rosenstein. Woven into the fabric of the text are insights from literary and historical writers, sociologists, and philosophers. This interdisciplinary attempt to shed new light on efforts to determine the meanings and lessons of the Holocaust provides readers with a challenging approach to considering the oral histories of survivors and the popular and professional assumptions surrounding this devastating moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-3\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"images\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51B6aIyyjYL.jpg\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row panel-container\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-4\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-success\"\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003eFast and Free Shipping\u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n                You're already purchasing the item.
