Cet ouvrage, qui introduit les travaux scientifiques produits à l'occasion du cent cinquantenaire de l'annexion de la Savoie à la France en 1860, rassemble les actes d'un colloque réuni les 18, 19 et 20 mars 2009 à Annecy (Haute-Savoie) et à Chambéry (Savoie).

Accounts of significant sites in Hungary, Vichy France, Italy, and other nations, part of the multi-volume reference praised as a “staggering achievement” (Jewish Daily Forward).
