""This thematically and geographically wide-ranging collection of essays is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion about how our understanding of the Holocaust should relate to global histories of colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and migration.""--Alan E. Steinweis, Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Vermont ""This collection of essays offers a timely, thought-provoking account of the global history of the Holocaust. [Its] chapters provide groundbreaking insights not only on the impact of the Holocaust outside of Europe, most importantly through the global Jewish refugee streams it unleashed, but also on the complex Holocaust memory cultures that evolved around the world after the tragedy. Bringing together scholars from around the world, Global Approaches to the Holocaust is a crucial addition to the field of Holocaust studies.""--David Motadel, associate professor of international history at the London School of Economics and Political Science ""This remarkable volume offers scholars new and vibrant perspectives on the history and memory of the Holocaust from across six continents. In the process, it illuminates the myriad ways that the Holocaust continues to reverberate far beyond the lands where it occurred.""--Tomaz Jardim, professor of history at Toronto Metropolitan University
