The social history of the genocide, its representation in postwar
culture, and new theoretical approaches stand at the forefront of
current research in a range of disciplines. Analyses at the most
intimate scale-of the individual or of a particular locale- are
juxtaposed with those that turn to broader studies of the war or
postwar order. Complementing these different scales are theoretical
investigations that address individual agency, moral judgment, and
the construction of meaning and memory in the study of the victims
of the Holocaust and in our understanding of society as a whole.
Together they mark the contemporary scholarly landscape of
Holocaust studies, which includes history as well as film and
literary studies, philosophy, and religious studies (among other
disciplines). Each of the volume's three sections contributes to
understanding the Holocaust and postwar ramifications of the
genocide by focusing on: 1) the history of specific communities of
both victims and perpetrators; 2) postwar cultural representations;
and 3) new theoretical understandings of each. The essays in this
volume thus represent new interests in the field that contribute to
building integrated histories of the Holocaust.
