ABSTRACT This paper will trace the formation of a memory culture focused on the commemoration of the Roma Holocaust in Europe in general and in Lithuania in particular. Although Lithuania's Roma community was severely affected by the Holocaust (it is estimated that every third Roma was killed), this case has not attracted much attention from scholars. By tracing the interaction between the Roma and Jewish communities in Lithuania, it shows how the formation of this memory culture is not just a top-down process associated with the transnational European memory of the Roma genocide, but one that is shaped by local actors.

ABSTRACT This article examines the portrayal of the Nazi Holocaust in Chinese public culture, focusing on the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum (SJRM). It argues that contemporary Western preoccupations with coloniality/decoloniality are unhelpful in understanding the Communist Party's efforts to project influence abroad, and reinforce legitimacy at home. The SJRM shows how these efforts extend to fierce competition with Japan for UNESCO recognition of war-related heritage, as each country trumpets its role in saving Jews from the Holocaust. Official interest in the Holocaust as heritage remains overwhelmingly instrumental, focused on enhancing the international reputation of Shanghai and China.

wonderfully picked up in Hilene Flanzbaum’s essay that closes this volume and simultaneously serves as an outlook. Her article carefully addresses the perpetual ebbing and flowing in academia, demonstrating how Holocaust studies initially provided the nurturing ground for trauma studies, only to be relegated to one amongst many topics that contemporary academic discourse addresses under the rubric of traumatizing social and personal ills. Flanzbaum not only ends this impressive collection of essays on a note of calm reflection, she furthermore adds an impressively comprehensive angle in her closing thoughts. The very diversity to which this edited book testifies in every way now requires, maybe more than ever, notions and ideas that provide coherency to a field of research that is tied together at times primarily by its shared object of interest. Transand interdisciplinary research already features prominently in a range of contributions to this book, and the editors are to be applauded for providing space for such endeavors. To single out one such article, Naomi Sikoloff’s essay on ‘The Nazi Beast at the Warsaw Zoo’ brings together animal studies, ethics, dehumanization and a range of other relevant and fascinating aspects in her discussion of the memoirs written by the zookeeper’s wife, of Diane Ackerman’s novel based on her life and of the cinematic adaption based on this literary material. The careful readings are then related to David Grossman’s See Under Love, with further connections followed into J.M. Coetzee’s writing. While committed to close and insightful commentary on her chosen literary sources, the article makes a compelling case for the kind of productive engagement that Holocaust Studies scholars can engage in as they demonstrate the relevancy of their own expertise in related research fields. Readers of this handbook will find many such moments throughout this wonderful volume.

which places Canadians at the heart of the history of the aftermath of Bergen-Belsen. The testimonies in Kingdom of Night reveal the truth in Dan Stone’s comment that there ‘is still much to learn from Belsen.’ There are questions which cannot be fully answered within the specific scope of this book but for which historians will find its testimonies valuable. What exactly is meant by ‘liberation’? What role does chronology play in the narratives constructed of liberation? How did non-Jewish liberators understand the experiences of Jewish survivors? How far can terms such as ‘liberator’ and ‘witness’ encompass the diversity of roles at Belsen and responses to it? Scattered primary material—often difficult to source—is critical in this task of interpretation, and there are few better places for historians to continue their work of answering such questions than this essential book.

ABSTRACT Dirk Moses's 2021 The Problems of Genocide has generated some debates — but it should also be an essential reference for Holocaust scholars. Moving beyond polemics and the black-and-white debates about the Holocaust's uniqueness, this forum invites a critical assessment of the book from three disciplines – international law, philosophy, and history. The forum seeks to begin erasing disciplinary boundaries within Holocaust studies. Not only in this sense is Moses’s book precious for its analytical thrusts – such as permanent security and mass violence's paranoid worlds – and its far-reaching consequences for the study of mass violence.

ABSTRACT This paper provides an analysis of the Holocaust memory that is emerging in Spain, focusing on the graphic novel El fotógrafo de Mauthausen by Rubio, Colombo and Landa and the film of the same name directed by Targarona. In terms of form, the two works invest the Holocaust with an American aesthetic, while, at the same time, displaying strong local overtones. The result is controversial because it diminishes the particularity of the traumatic event by broadening its meaning beyond world Jewry. Yet, the visibilizing function is sharpened: the two works zoom in on the largely unnoticed destiny of Spanish Republicans.

ABSTRACT Between 1940 and 1944, thousands of persecuted Jews fled Europe via the Iberian Peninsula. For men, a defining feature of this escape was feeling hungry for several months in a Spanish detention camp, the “campo de concentración de Miranda de Ebro.” There, the men developed coping strategies for acquiring additional food, and tactics for coping psychologically with the hunger. These strategies created bonds and stable groups; conferred a sense of agency; and made the men feel useful, valued, and cared for. In parallel, Allied country diplomatic representatives, Red Cross organizations, and American relief agencies provided food parcels.
1940年至1944年间，成千上万受迫害的犹太人经由伊比利亚半岛逃离欧洲。对于男人来说，这次逃亡的一个主要特点是在西班牙拘留营“concentración de Miranda de Ebro”中挨饿几个月。在那里，这些人制定了获取额外食物的应对策略，以及在心理上应对饥饿的策略。这些策略建立了联系和稳定的群体;被赋予能动性的;让男人觉得自己有用，被重视，被关心。与此同时，盟国外交代表、红十字会组织和美国救济机构提供了食品包裹。
