Edited by David Silberklang.

Yad Vashem Studies is a peer review journal committed to a multi-faceted and thorough examination of all aspects of the Holocaust. With a wide geographic scope, the six main articles of this issue examine Nazi anti-Jewish policy at different points in time and post-war confrontations with the Holocaust.
