Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Holocaust Public Memory in Postcommunist Romania . . . is an excellent and timely addition to European historiography. The book consists of eight chapters, most of them written by scholars affiliated with the Elie Wiesel Institute. It not only shows the challenges faced in remembering Romania's involvement in the Holocaust, but provides an excellent comparative analysis with other countries in the region.
