Holocaust and Genocide Studies is the premier forum for work on the extensive body of literature and documentation on the Holocaust and genocide. It features essays and reviews that cut across the disciplines of history, literature, economics, religious studies, anthropology, political science, sociology, and others. HGS also considers how insights into the Holocaust apply to other genocides. Articles compel readers to confront the entire range of human behavior, to contemplate the moral dimensions of science and technology in our society, and to reconsider the concept of state and the consequences of our methods of political and social organization.

Holocaust and Genocide Studies welcomes the submission of articles for editorial consideration. Submission involves the tacit assurance that the material has not been published and will not be simultaneously submitted or published elsewhere. To be accepted for publication, all articles must pass a peer review by at least two experts in the field.
