This book examines the changes in representing collaboration,
during the Holocaust, especially in the destruction of European
Jewry, in the public discourse and the historiography of various
countries in Europe that were occupied by the Germans, or were
considered, at least during part of the war, as Germany's allies or
satellites. In particular, it shows how representations and
responses have been conditioned by national and political trends
and constraints. As historical background to the issues of postwar
collective memory and public discourse, it includes references to
and short descriptions of major manifestations of collaboration,
chiefly in regards to the Jews, in each of these countries during
the war. Whether they were Communist or democratic regimes, the
book shows how the sudden burden of the past was suppressed, denied
or distorted in various periods. Covering a wide area of both
Eastern and Western Europe from different specialist perspectives,
this comprehensive study of collaboration in the Holocaust and its
aftermath will be a valuable tool for teachers and students in the
field of modern European history and Holocaust studies.

This book is the first comprehensive, as well as impartial, account
of the various ways the people of the state of Israel, beginning
with their social integration in the 1950s, grappled with the still
fresh memory of the Holocaust and with finding a suitable way of
commemorating it and passing that memory on to future generations.
The public debate in Israel in the 1950s over the question of the
Jewish response to the Nazi policy of extermination in areas under
German domination during the Holocaust is the core of the book.
Contrary to common assumption the book exposes the disagreements
and differences of opinion which guided, and disturbed, Israeli
society and its leadership, and raised fundamental questions
concerning the collective memory of the Holocaust. Thus it throws
light on the nature of Israeli society in the fifties as well as on
the fears and the needs of its political leaders.
The situation of the Roma in Europe, especially in the former
communist states, is one of the more important human rights issues
on the agenda of the international community, especially in the
Euro-Atlantic bodies of integration. Within European states that
have Roma populations there is a growing awareness that the matter
must be confronted, and that there is a need for a concentrated
effort to solve social problems and ease tensions between the Roma
and the European nations among which they dwell. This volume is the
result of an international conference held at Tel Aviv University
in December 2002. The conference, one of the largest held among the
academic community in the last decade, served as a unique forum for
a multidisciplinary discussion on the past and present of the Roma
in which both Roma and non-Roma scholars from various countries
engaged.
