Summary:

Can lessons of history develop our orientation in time? Few scholars have responded positively to this challenge. In this theoretically innovative book, prominent scholarly works on the Holocaust and Soviet terror from the 1960s to the present are analyzed to demonstrate the qualities of time-transcending borderline events as lessons of history.
