| Summary: | Is there really anything new to say about Kristallnacht more than eighty years after the event? The book under review answers this question with a definitive yes. Stemming from a conference convened in November 2018 at the University of Southern California, the volume’s fifteen essays are informally divided into four categories that look at events on the ground in Germany in November 1938, press coverage of the violence in Europe and the United States, Jewish responses in several countries, and the influence of Kristallnacht on atrocity narratives in Africa and Asia. Thoroughly documented and accompanied by substantial bibliographies, the contributions will prove useful to scholars and students of the Holocaust, memory studies, and comparative genocide. |
