This handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date single
volume on the history and memory of the Holocaust in Britain. It
traces the complex relationship between Britain and the destruction
of Europe's Jews, from societal and political responses to
persecution in the 1930s, through formal reactions to war and
genocide, to works of representation and remembrance in post-war
Britain. Through this process the handbook not only updates
existing historiography of Britain and the Holocaust; it also adds
new dimensions to our understanding by exploring the constant
interface and interplay of history and memory. The chapters bring
together internationally renowned academics and talented younger
scholars. Collectively, they examine a raft of themes and issues
concerning the actions of contemporaries to the Holocaust, and the
responses of those who came 'after'. At a time when the
Holocaust-related activity in Britain proceeds apace, the
contributors to this handbook highlight the importance of rooting
what we know and understand about Britain and the Holocaust in
historical actuality. This, the volume suggests, is the only way to
respond meaningfully to the challenges posed by the Holocaust and
ensure that the memory of it has purpose.
