The Eastern Front and the Holocaust addresses a fundamental challenge in modern historiography: the persistent disconnect between the history of World War II and the history of the Holocaust. For too long, the operational, ideological, and institutional links between warfare and genocide have been analyzed in isolation from one another.
This edited volume brings together preeminent scholars of military history and Holocaust studies—including Gerhard L. Weinberg, Richard Overy, Dina Porat, Dan Michman, and Edward Westermann—to examine Nazi war-making and mass murder as deeply interconnected historical processes.
By exploring strategy, logistics, perpetration, resistance, and victim experience, as well as postwar interpretations, the contributors demonstrate how genocidal policies were embedded within military structures and how developments on the battlefield shaped the execution of racial violence.
By integrating diverse methodologies and sources across disciplinary boundaries, The Eastern Front and the Holocaust establishes a synthetic framework for understanding the nature of Nazi violence. This volume represents a landmark contribution to the historiography of World War II, the Holocaust, and genocide studies, and will be an essential resource for researchers and advanced students in these fields.
