The Holocaust in History and Memory is a new
journal published by the University of Essex (United
Kingdom). It is linked to the theme of the events organised
each year at the University of Essex to mark Holocaust
Memorial Day. It takes a broad (i.e. inclusive) view of the
term ‘Holocaust’, without losing the sense of its origin
and the significance of the Holocaust for the European
Jewry and the Sinti and Roma.
The first volume, Representing the Unrepresentable, came out
in December 2008. It contains four articles which explore
the representation of the Holocaust in public museums.
The second volume, Bearing Witness: Testimony and the
Historical Memory of the Holocaust (December 2009)
focuses on the importance and the various forms of
testimony. In addition to five articles which explore
different aspects of this question it includes witness
testimony by Edith Balas, Anna Kaletska, Ladislaus Löb and
Dora Love; two review articles; and a general ‘notice
board’ for new projects and conference papers.
General Editor of the series is Rainer Schulze, Head of
Department of History at the University of Essex, who
was prominently involved in the development of the new
permanent exhibition at the Gedenkstätte Bergen-Belsen
which opened in October 2007; he was one of the
project leaders of the international team of researchers
and the only representative from the United Kingdom
on the International Experts’ Commission for the
Redevelopment of the Gedenkstätte Bergen-Belsen.
