Abstrakt
In here we outline the larger framework of the volume, which may be read in two ways. First, as further accentuating the role that "place", "space", and "void" - categories that we will come back to - played in the Holocaust.
All authors of the texts included here have adopted a territorial perspective, examining the connections between places (and spaces) and various aspects of genocide, collaboration, and complicity, as well as documentation and memorialization. Second, this volume makes a case for interdisciplinarity, for the incorporation of the methods and approaches of not only history, political science, and memory or cultural studies, but also ethnology, anthropology, geography, and archeology.
In doing so, we seek to address some of the methodological challenges associated with crossing disciplinary boundaries.
