Abstract:
The research is an attempt designed to diagnose the problematic of 
characterizing the genocide by adopting the "Holocaust" as a paradigm for 
the hypothesis addressed by the research, reviewing the trends of historians' 
interpretation of the genocide since the end of World War II (1945), as well 
as tracking the historical stations that those interpretations have gone 
through, the problems and crises that they provoked in Germany, and the 
response of German historical circles for the challenge imposed by those 
interpretations. The research is divided into two topics: the first: The 
Historians' Trends in Interpreting the Nazi Genocide of the Jews until 
the 1980s. As for the second: the "Holocaust" Historiography, the Nazi 
Knot, and the Identity Crisis in Germany.
