Summary
This chapter engages the interrelation between German agency and non-German interest in the pursuit of the “Final Solution” and other projects of ethnic, economic, or political restratification; and discusses the European dimensions (including imperial/colonial aspirations) in the history of these projects and the specifics of the “Final Solution” in the attempt to locate the Holocaust on the historical map of genocides.
