The Holocaust is much-discussed, much-memorialised and portrayed in fiction. But major parts of the Holocaust have still not been understood. In this lecture, drawing on his new book The Holocaust: An Unfinished History, Dan Stone will emphasise: the need to understand the significance of Nazism's genocidal ideology; that the commonly heard concept of "industrial genocide" gives only an incomplete representation of what happened; the fact that the genocide of the Jews required continent-wide collaboration; and the depth of the trauma engendered by the Holocaust.
