Summary:

This book explores the concept of space within Holocaust research, emphasizing the 'spatial turn' in historical analysis. Edited by Janine Fubel, Alexandra Klei, and Annika Wienert, it brings together various scholarly perspectives on how geography and spatial thinking influence our understanding of Holocaust events and memories. The book includes discussions on the role of space in violence, memory, and artistic expression, particularly through the works of ceramicist Yael Atzmony, whose art reflects her father's experiences as a Sobibór survivor. Intended for academics and students of Holocaust studies, it examines spatial relationships in historical contexts and their impact on collective memory. Generated by AI.
