During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.

Combining Burzlaff’s historiographical overview with a chapter from Fulbrook’s recent book, these
readings explore the relations between social groupings and the Holocaust. They raise questions
about how to reconcile the Holocaust as a defining event in people’s lives with the variety of
wartime experiences, bringing together debates on categorization, politics, geography and
community.
