Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In the aftermath of the Second World War, Jews across Europe began to collect wartime records in order to document the set of events that we now call the Holocaust. The Jews of Greece were no exception to this general pattern. Greek survivors such as Albert Menasche and Isaac Matarasso, amongst others, wrote a number of accounts of the destruction of their communities, thereby creating a pioneering corpus of holocaust literature concerning Greece. Succeeding generations of scholars, historians, journalists and writers built upon this early literature and continue to develop it. This course will focus on this corpus and aims to introduce and familiarise students with its representative works. It will examine the content, arguments, scholarly approaches and critical reception of these works as well as situate them within the broader academic field of Holocaust Studies.
