‘Marrus offers a bold and superb assessment of prescriptions drawn from Holocaust history. This is as much an exploration of the uses and abuses of Holocaust history as an intellectual biography, a commentary on decades of studying and teaching the Holocaust.’- Joanna Sliwa (H-Poland/H-Net Reviews January 2018) ‘Lessons of the Holocaust is a masterful work of far-reaching significance for scholars, undergraduates and graduate students, and non-specialists that only gains in relevance with time.’- Rebekah Klein-Pejšová (Canadian Journal of History - vol 53:01:2018) "This book makes for great reading in introductory classes on the Holocaust and especially in those on Holocaust memory."- Thomas Kühne (Seventeenth Century News) "Lessons of the Holocaust is a joy to read. Written with clarity and verve, it covers a lot of ground elegantly and efficiently. But be prepared; at some point, it will hit you how profoundly this book has challenged what you thought you knew about the Holocaust."- Doris L. Bergen, University of Toronto (University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018)
