This is a multi-perspectival, broadly thematic exploration of
ghettoization and deportation in Hungary as spatio-temporal
processes, integrating the so-called 'spatial turn' in the
humanities into Holocaust Studies. 'The universe began shrinking,'
wrote Elie Wiesel of his Holocaust experiences in Hungary, 'first
we were supposed to leave our towns and concentrate in the larger
cities. Then the towns shrank to the ghetto, and the ghetto to a
house, the house to a room, the room to a cattle car...' Wiesel's
words point to the Holocaust being implemented and experienced as a
profoundly spatial event, with Jews concentrated in urban centres
in more and more confined space. But alongside this spatial story
of increasing physical concentration (segregation and control), is
a spatio-temporal story of the Holocaust experienced as movement
(to and from ghettos and camps) and stasis (in ghettos and cattle
cars) which Wiesel hints at. Both ideas underlie this book on
ghettoization and deportation in Hungary as spatio-temporal
processes. Using a multi-perspectival, broadly thematic approach,
Dr Tim Cole's "Traces of the Holocaust" sees him innovatively
explore ways of integrating the so-called 'spatial turn' in the
humanities into Holocaust Studies.
