This volume considers the uses and misuses of the memory of
assistance given to Jews during the Holocaust, deliberated in
local, national, and transnational contexts. History of this aid
has drawn the attention of scholars and the general public alike.
Stories of heroic citizens who hid and rescued Jewish men, women,
and children have been adapted into books, films, plays, public
commemorations, and museum exhibitions. Yet, emphasis on the
uplifting narratives often obscures the history of violence and
complicity with Nazi policies of persecution and mass murder. Each
of the ten essays in this interdisciplinary collection is dedicated
to a different country: Belarus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece,
North Macedonia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
The case studies provide new insights into what has emerged as one
of the most prominent and visible trends in recent Holocaust memory
and memory politics. While many of the essays focus on recent
developments, they also shed light on the evolution of this
phenomenon since 1945.
