In this book a wide range of scholars examine the very beginnings of the effort to apply scholarly standards to the understanding of the Holocaust - when World War II was still raging, and immediately after it ended. It looks at the personalities who made the first steps, the centers that were created, the projects that were initiated, the ideas that were put forward, the contexts that impacted on the materialization, the conditions in which the work was carried out, and the challenges that were encountered - in Europe, North America and Israel
