| Summary: | During the Holocaust both rural and urban environments were irreversibly altered to accommodate camps, ghettos, and infrastructure. Many landscapes became killing and burial sites, hiding places, spaces of resistance and refuge, or de facto instruments of torture. Tim Cole’s Holocaust Landscapes skilfully presents this “place-making event” (p. 2) through a spatial lens in order to analyze the places that were inhabited or created as a result of Nazi persecution. Building upon work centered on Holocaust geographies and archaeologies—much of which has emerged over the last decade—Holocaust Landscapes offers novel perspectives regarding the ways in which the Nazis’ victims were affected by, and influenced, the places they encountered. |
