Re-examining the Holocaust through Literature
In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
The Holocaust
'This vital history shatters many myths about the Nazi genocide . . . . surprising . . . provocative . . . fizzes with ideas.

Life and Love in Nazi Prague
Prague, 1940-1942. The Nazi-occupied city is locked in a reign of terror under Reinhard Heydrich. The Jewish community experience increasing levels of persecution, as rumours start to swirl of deportation and an unknown, but widely feared, fate. Amidst the chaos and devastation, Marie Bader, a widow age 56, has found love again with a widower, her cousin Ernst Löwy. Ernst has fled to Greece and the two correspond in a series of deeply heartfelt letters which provide a unique perspective on this period of heightening tension and anguish for the Jewish community. The letters paint a vivid, moving and often dramatic picture of Jewish life in occupied Prague, the way Nazi persecution affected Marie, her increasingly strained family relationships, as well as the effect on the wider Jewish community whilst Heydrich, one of the key architects and executioners of the Holocaust and Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, established the Theresienstadt ghetto and began to organize the deportation of Jews. Through this deeply personal and moving account, the realities of Jewish life in Heydrich's Prague are dramatically revealed.

De Holocaust
Een nieuw standaardwerk over de plek van de Holocaust in ons collectieve bewustzijn. De beslissende gebeurtenis van het twintigste-eeuwse Europa – de uitroeiing van miljoenen Joden – is herdacht, geïnstitutionaliseerd en verankerd in ons collectieve bewustzijn. Maar in deze genuanceerde en scherpzinnige nieuwe geschiedenis betoogt Dan Stone, hoogleraar moderne geschiedenis en directeur van het Holocaust Research Institute, dat de ware dimensie van de door de nazi’s aangerichte verschrikking in onze huidige herdenkingscultuur onbedoeld terzijde wordt geschoven. Dit is deels te wijten aan de misvatting dat de Holocaust volledig in vernietigingskampen plaatsvond, en deels aan een gebrek ...
