| Summary: | Unfortunately, very few studies on the Holocaust in the Bohemian Lands or the history of the Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto are available in English. This monograph by Livia Rothkirchen thus fills a significant gap in the English-language historiography. The book presents a summary of the author's research on the Holocaust; most of the chapters have been published earlier as articles and touch upon a broad array of topics., Livia Rothkirchen, born in Czechoslovakia, was a member of the founding generation of Yad Vashem researchers and one of the first historians who came to be interested in the topic of the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia at a time when this topic was considered taboo by the communist regime. |
