Remembering For the Future: The Holocaust in an Age of Genocides -- Three-Volume Set

by John K. Roth (Editor), Elisabeth Maxwell (Editor)

Featuring 170 original essays by leading experts, Remembering for the Future is the product of the historic conference held in July, 2000 in London and Oxford—the interdisciplinary, international, and interfaith forum that brought together scholars, students, teachers, artists, and, possibly for the last time, Holocaust survivors. Together, they explore the latest developments in Holocaust studies—their impact on future scholarship and their contributions to future understanding of the signal event of the 20th century. Topics covered include new looks at the ghetto and national experiences of the Holocaust, resistance and rescue, and survivor testimony and the future of remembrance.
