This book belongs on this thread.(ha) The book is published by Westminster John Knox Press, which publishes books for Christians. However, one of the authors is Jewish. There appears to be only historical references to Christianity in the book.

Although the publisher seems to make a big deal about this book being a "revised edition," it has been around a while (since 2003).

Approaches to Auschwitz, Revised Edition: The Holocaust and Its Legacy. By Richard L. Rubenstein. Rated 4.2 stars, but from only 4 reviews, at Amazon at the present moment; rated 4.05, from 42 ratings at GoodReads. Print list price $35.00; digital list price $28.00; Kindle price $2.99. Westminster John Knox Press, publisher. 512 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Approaches-Aus...and+Its+Legacy.

I happen to know that this book is available at Christianbook (ePub, DRM Protected), also, and for 70 cents less ($2.39) than at Amazon.

Book Description
Distinctively coauthored by a Christian scholar and a Jewish scholar, this monumental, interdisciplinary study explores the various ways in which the Holocaust has been studied and assesses its continuing significance. The authors develop an analysis of the Holocaust's historical roots, its shattering impact on human civilization, and its decisive importance in determining the fate of the world. This revised edition takes into account developments in Holocaust studies since the first edition was published.
