Introduction to the Third Edition Rosenbaum

Alan S. Rosenbaum in Introduction to the Third Edition introduces the idea that Ben Kiernan's claim for the significant uniqueness of the Holocaust may gradually but perceptibly be shifting, due to the increasing number of Holocaust and genocide studies who have been merging in various programs in universities, institutions, organizations, books and many other domains. The occurrence and study of other genocides help understand the different dimensions of the Holocaust and bring it in the context of a broader genocide studies investigation. The African genocidal conflict in Darfur, Sudan, is mentioned as well as the boycotting of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in China.
