Holocaust and Memory in Europe · Holocaust and Memory in Europe · Volume 1

This inaugural volume of the German Yearbook of Contemporary History is devoted to a central theme of recent historical scholarship: the Holocaust. Ulrich Herbert and Peter Hayes take stock of German contributions to Holocaust research, Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe examines the collective memory of the murder of the Jews in the Ukrainian diaspora, and J�rgen Zarusky critically evaluates the controversial notion of the "Bloodlands." The volume is rounded out by an English translation of the original 1953 article by Hans Rothfels in which a key document, the Gerstein Report, was first published, as well as a retrospective analysis of this important article by Valerie H�bert. Updates on recent German projects in the field of Holocaust history are also provided by Frank Bajohr and Susanne Heim.
