Lessons and Legacies, Volume XV cover

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.

“Encompassing global geographies of the Holocaust, this volume is rich in new research and conversant with some of the most current directions in Holocaust studies.” —Dorota Glowacka, University of King's College, Canada

"This unique volume makes an important and timely contribution to the field of Holocaust Studies by bringing together a collection of essays that crosses geographies, disciplines, and approaches to Holocaust representation. The carefully selected chapters, in conversation with each other, broaden our awareness of and appreciation for the expansive possibilities for Holocaust research. Reading this volume enriches our understanding of Holocaust history and memory." —Victoria Aarons, Trinity University
