| Summary: | Over the last decade and a half, the study of collective memory—especially the memory of the Holocaust—has been the domain mainly of historians and cultural studies specialists. Recently, sociologists have begun to publish on the topic as well. Daniel Levy and Natan Sznaider's new volume provides readers with an opportunity to gauge what fresh insights the discipline can contribute to the study of memory. In contrast to most historical studies of Holocaust memory, which focus on the evolution of remembrance within single national contexts, this comparative historical sociology chronicles the formation of Holocaust memory in three different nations—Germany, the United States, and Israel. |
