Beskrivning
Ordinary victims' voices from the Holocaust are still far less recognized than those of the perpetrators, Volume III of The Cambridge History of the Holocaust centers upon victims' perspectives, examining their experiences, responses, and fates. Chapters encompass the ordeals of a range of persecuted groups: Jews, Roma and Sinti, and homosexuals, as well as those with physical and mental challenges, Slavs, and Soviet prisoners of war. Covering a wide geographical scope, contributors underscore the differences between victim experiences in eastern and western Europe while highlighting national and regional complexities. Through a breadth of primary sources including diaries, letters, memoirs and interviews, readers gain insight into the diverse reactions and behaviors of victims as well as those who helped or hurt them. This volume offers an overview of Holocaust scholarship through victims' voices, while highlighting areas for further research.

Recensioner i media

‘… the editors have assembled a truly international and intergenerational roster of contributors that reflects the vigor and breadth of the field and the diversity of the people who work in it. One particularly salutary consequence is that numerous chapters make a great deal of research in languages that are not usually accessible to English-speakers available to them … a compendium of multi-faceted and hard-won learning.’ Peter Hayes, H-Soz-Kult
