Escapees. The history of Jews who fled Nazi deportation trains in France, Belgium and the Netherlands; German railways, Jewish souls: the Reichsbahn, bureaucracy and the final solution

Abstract

Lustick’s concluding chapter instead focuses on the reality of the one state that exists, and the troubling consequences of conflict management and de facto annexation. But what would it mean for a political imaginary that moves in a more generative direction? Paradigm Lost forces us to consider the hold of paradigmatic thinking about territorial partition yet it also makes clear that envisioning a more equitable future still requires new models to take its place.
