Personal Engagement and the Study of the Holocaust, (ed. with Katrin Stoll) (original) (raw)

This volume addresses the complex interplay between historical engagement and distance in the academic study of the Holocaust, exploring how personal involvement influences historical representation and scholarship. Highlighting the significance of this relationship, the editors draw on the intellectual legacy of Hayden White, advocating for a nuanced understanding of historiography that transcends traditional factual approaches. The contributions within aim to confront and reassess the implications of engagement for both historical narrative and contemporary commemoration.
