Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Following the end of the Second World War and their Liberation, Jews across Europe began to collect wartime documents and establish historical commissions and projects for the purpose of researching the attempt, by National-Socialist Germany and its allies, at their complete annihilation. The Jews of the Balkans were no exception. Starting with Natan Grinberg’s Dokumenti (Sofia, 1945) continuing with Matatias Carp’s Cartea Neagra (Bucharest, 1946-1948) and Michael Molho’s, In Memoriam (Thessaloniki, 1948-1953) Balkan Holocaust survivors sought to record, for posterity, their calamitous suffering and catastrophe. Succeeding generations of scholars, historians, journalists and other writers continue to develop, challenge, enrich and ultimately expand this pioneering body of writing. This course will concentrate on this diverse body of historiographical literature with a double focus on translated and original works. It will assess its varied content, arguments and approaches. The course will also examine the public and scholarly reception of certain key, and often, controversial works.
