Beyond Camps and Forced Labour

Zusatztext

This book presents a selection of the newest research on themes amplified by the sixth annual<i>Beyond Camps and Forced Labour</i> conference on the post-Holocaust period, including displaced persons, reception and resettlement, exiles and refugees, trials and justice, reparation and restitution, and memory and testimony. The chapters highlight new, transnational approaches and findings based on underused and newly opened archives, including compensation files of the British government; on historical actors often on the periphery within English-language historiography, including Romanian and Hungarian survivors; and new approaches such as the spatial history of Drancy, as well as geographies that have undergone less scrutiny, for example, Tehran, Chile, Mexico and Cyprus. This volume represents the vibrant and varied state of research on the aftermath of the Holocaust.
