WHEN THE CEMETERY BECOMES POLITICAL KARTONIERT ...

The Title of this book 'When the Cemetery Becomes Political' implies the question: How can the
cemetery - a place for the dead - become a space that develops a political dynamic? Scholars
from different countries explored such dynamics further in three Conferences - one held in
Münster Germany (2017) and the other two in Nicosia Cyprus (2018 2019). Ten of the papers
presented at these Conferences are compiled in this volume. They investigate how religious
heritage is dealt with in multi-ethnic religious countries like Bosnia-Herzegovina  Cyprus and
Lebanon  one of the papers focuses on the fate of Thessaloniki's huge Jewish cemetery
destructed during the German occupation of Greece in World War II. Further questions addressed
in this book are: Why does one group destroy or desecrate the cemeteries and places of worship
of the other group(s) during interreligious or interethnic conflicts? What are the reasons
behind such extreme actions  and what is the purpose of such acts of destruction? The book
gives insights into the complex and complicated interaction between religion and politics - and
thus contributes to the discussion of a hot topic of our times. This book contains papers by
Elie Al Hindy  Dima de Clerck  Lisa Dikomitis with Vassos Argyrou  Ziad Fahed  Thorsten Kruse 
Leon Saltiel  Petros Savvides  Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert with Alexandra Bounia  Theodosios
Tsivolas and Zeljana Tunic.
