Inviting a conceptual reconsideration of centre and periphery in the study of National
Socialist camps and killing sites this volume puts forth novel scholarly analyses of the
history and memory of the Holocaust and World War II. The book is organised thematically into
three interrelated sections that engage innovative methodological approaches to the history of
this period perpetrator studies and post-war memorial practices. Employing a fluid and
interpretive understanding of centre and periphery the authors offer timely interventions into
the use of visual sources and archival materials explore perpetration and collaboration as
transnational and political categories and examine contested legacies of the Holocaust and
post-war commemorative practices pedagogy and memorialisation.
