After Eichmann: Collective Memory & Holocaust Sinc: Collective Memory and Holocaust Since 1961

by David Cesarani (Editor)

In 1961 Adolf Eichmann went on trial in Jerusalem for his part in the Nazi persecution and mass murder of Europe's Jews. For the first time a judicial process focussed on the genocide against the Jews and heard Jewish witnesses to the catastrophe. The trial and the controversies it caused had a profound effect on shaping the collective memory of what became 'the Holocaust'.

This volume, a special issue of the Journal of Israeli History, brings together new research by scholars from Europe, Israel and the USA.
