Shlomo Aronson (historian)
Shlomo Aronson (1936 – 21 February 2020) was an Israeli historian and professor of political science at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[1]
His 2004 book, Hitler, the Allies, and the Jews, argued a thesis that he had advanced in many of his earlier publications—to "explain the Holocaust in terms of a multiple trap". According to Aronson, the Nazis devised this trap such that Jews' attempts to extricate themselves would only further the Nazis' genocidal ambitions. The book received mixed reviews.[2][3][4] The book received the awards "Israeli Political Science Association Award for outstanding book in English" and "Sybil Milton Prize of the German Studies Association for outstanding work on the Holocaust".[1]
Aronson died on 21 February 2020 in Kfar Saba.[5]
