Sociology is concerned with modern society, but has never come to
terms with one of the most distinctive and horrific aspects of
modernity – the Holocaust.
The book examines what sociology can teach us about the
Holocaust, but more particularly concentrates upon the lessons
which the Holocaust has for sociology. Bauman’s work demonstrates
that the Holocaust has to be understood as deeply involved with the
nature of modernity. There is nothing comparable to this work
available in the sociological literature.
