Its subject is the experiences of a Jewish family from Krak{\´o}w following German occupation in 1939, with well over half of the text devoted to letters sent by various members to Joseph (J{\´o}zia) Hollander, the one person to escape the Nazis and find a new home in the United States. As a primary source, these letters are clearly a valuable research tool for anyone working in the area of Holocaust Studies, whilst having a much wider relevance, not least in an era marked by persecution and flight caused by war. The remainder of the book puts the family's experiences into wider contexts.}, language = {en} } @misc{Parkes2018, author = {Parkes, Keith Stuart}, title = {Rezension: "Geschichtspolitik in Europa seit 1989.

Following a brief Introduction by co-editor Wolfgang Benz which, after outlining many of the themes of the conference, ends with a positive reference to the revival of Jewish life in Germany since unification, the volume consists of eleven essays divided into four sections entitled 'Uprooting and New Start: Displaced Persons', 'After Exile', 'Expulsion as Collective Fate' and 'Bitter Balance'. The main emphasis is on the immediate post-war situation, although there are references in some of the essays both to earlier periods and more recent developments.}, language = {en} }
