Jews and Gentiles in Central and Eastern Europe during the Holocaust
Providing diverse insights into JewishGentile relations in East Central Europe from the outbreak of the Second World War until the reestablishment of civic societies after the fall of Communism in the late 1980s, this volume brings together scholars from various disciplines including history, sociology, political science, cultural studies, film studies and anthropology to investigate the complexity of these relations, and their transformation, from perspectives beyond the traditional approach that deals purely with politics.
This collection thus looks for interactions between the public and private, and what is more, it does so from a still rather rare comparative perspective, both chronological and geographic. It is this interdisciplinary and comparative perspective that enables us to scrutinize the interaction between the individual majority societies and the Jewish minorities in a longer time frame, and hence we are able to revisit complex and manifold encounters between Jews and Gentiles, including but not limited to propaganda, robbery, violence but also help and rescue. In doing so, this collection challenges the representation of these encounters in post-war literature, films, and the historical consciousness.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Holocaust Studies.
