"Lang's philosophical reflections touch on many dilemmas that have been central to Holocaust studies. These include issues of uniqueness and comparability, intentionality and the continuation of guilt over time. To all of these, Lang brings a careful philosophical probing and, sometimes, fresh insight. While judicious and constantly mindful of the ethical dimensions of various positions, he is not afraid to work through their logical consequences and ramifications, to ask unexpected and unsettling questions or to make surprising analogies. The outcome is that sometimes he questions the whole way in which debates have been framed and the presuppositions on which they rest."
--Sharon MacDonald, University of Sheffield "Journal of Holocaust Education ""The Future of the Holocaust is an important, scholarly, essential, highly recommended contribution to holocaust studies in general, and the preservation of authentic history and the role of historians in documenting and refuting attempts to deceive the future generations regarding their past."
--Reviewer's Bookwatch"Lang... has compiled in this volume eleven thought-provoking essays... This is a useful, stimulating, and carefully researched anthology for both the general reader and the specialist in Holocaust studies."
--Leon Stein, Roosevelt University. Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Vol. 15, No. 2, Fall 2001"These brilliantly incisive and morally unrelenting essays challenge us to recognize the presence of the Holocaust in our contemporary culture and to continue the painful process of drawing lessons from it."
--Omer Bartov, Rutgers University"This outstanding collection of essays is distinguished by its almost uncanny good sense, its capacity to render wise, humane, and consistently persuasive judgments on nearly every crucial aspect of Holocaust studies."
