| Summary: | This important volume is based on the 2004 International Scholars' Conference sponsored by the Yad Vashem International Institute of Holocaust Research. The book contains most of the papers presented there, in addition to contributions by scholars who did not attend the event., As edited by Israeli scholars Dan Michman and the late David Bankier, the volume is largely, though not exclusively, concerned with Jewish and Israeli historiography of the Holocaust. The early contributions of survivors, particularly in Israel, receive a good deal of attention. Sometimes referred to as “survivor-historians,” these men and women arrived in Palestine between 1944 and 1948. As Dina Porat notes, some of their accounts of German atrocities had reached the Yishuv even earlier. |
