Lessons and Legacies, Volume XV: The Holocaust: Global Perspectives, National Narratives, Local Contexts

A collection of cutting-edge research from the fields of history, literature, and memory, representing the latest advances in Holocaust studies

The contributions to this volume--the fifteenth in the historic Lessons and Legacies series--represent an array of multidisciplinary research topics and approaches in Holocaust studies within three broad categories: history, literature, and memory. These categories overlap and intersect, demonstrating the dynamic character of contemporary Holocaust studies, which views history, narrative representation, and commemoration as mutually informative, while continuing to integrate regional and national historical narratives into a more global approach. This volume reckons with new understandings of the mechanics of genocide, along with the experiences of refugees, the limits of language, and the ever-evolving dimensions of Holocaust memory and representation.
