| Summary: | Recently, a spate of scholarly research in English has appeared in Holocaust studies on topics such as the death marches, displacement, and postwar trials.1 Each in its own distinct way, these studies have revealed the complexity of the final weeks of the war, as well as the protracted and tumultuous nature of the recovery, reconciliation, and the search for justice., The liberation of Nazi concentration camps has also received more scholarly attention of late.2 By examining liberation, we can better appreciate the difficulties survivors and military personnel faced in the postwar period. In Hell Before Their Very Eyes, John C. McManus contributes to our understanding of this challenging subject. |
