| Summary: | The new book by Edward Kissi asks three interrelated questions: What did people in Africa know about the Holocaust? What did they think about it? To what extent were they willing to help Jewish refugees? As the author admits, his inquiry has some important geographic limitations because it focuses mostly on British colonies in East and West Africa, as well as the two independent African states, Liberia and Ethiopia (before and after the Italian occupation). Moreover, the book mostly takes into consideration the major newspapers of the period in these areas, and therefore says more about the opinions of African urban elites and colonial administrators than the broader African populations. |
