Social Groups and Experiences of the Holocaust
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.
Jan Burzlaff, ‘Confronting the Communal Grave: A Reassessment of Social Relations During the

Martine Fulbrook, Reckonings: Legacies of Nazi Persecution and The Quest for Justice, (Oxford:
