The first chapter traces the background of Nazi antisemitism, outlines the actual murder cam paign, and poses questions regarding the reac tion in the West, especially on the part of American Jewish leadership. The second chap ter, “Against Mystification,” analyzes the vari ous attempts to obscure what really happened. Bauer critically evaluates the work of historians or pseudohistorians who have tried to deny or explain away the Holocaust, as well as those who have attempted to turn it into a mystical experience.
