Holocaust Archaeologies: Approaches and Future Directions aims to
move archaeological research concerning the Holocaust forward
through a discussion of the variety of the political, social,
ethical and religious issues that surround investigations of this
period and by considering how to address them. It considers the
various reasons why archaeological investigations may take place
and what issues will be brought to bear when fieldwork is
suggested. It presents an interdisciplinary methodology in order to
demonstrate how archaeology can (uniquely) contribute to the
history of this period. Case examples are used throughout the book
in order to contextualise prevalent themes and a variety of
geographically and typologically diverse sites throughout Europe
are discussed. This book challenges many of the widely held
perceptions concerning the Holocaust, including the idea that it
was solely an Eastern European phenomena centred on Auschwitz and
the belief that other sites connected to it were largely destroyed
or are well-known. The typologically , temporally and spatial
diverse body of physical evidence pertaining to this period is
presented and future possibilities for investigation of it are
discussed. Finally, the volume concludes by discussing issues
relating to the “re-presentation” of the Holocaust and the
impact of this on commemoration, heritage management and education.
This discussion is a timely one as we enter an age without
survivors and questions are raised about how to educate future
generations about these events in their absence.
