The theme of Tim Cole`s Holocaust Landscapes concerns the geography of the Holocaust; the Holocaust as a place-making event for both perpetrators & victims. Through concepts such as distance & proximity, Professor Cole tells the story of the Holocaust through a number of landscapes where genocide was implemented, experienced & evaded & which have subsequently been forgotten in the post-war world. Drawing on particular survivors` narratives, Holocaust Landscapes moves between a series of ordinary & extraordinary places & the people who inhabited them throughout the years of the Second World War. Starting in Germany in the late 1930s, the book shifts chronologically & geographically westwards but ends up in Germany in the final chaotic months of the war. These landscapes range from the most iconic (synagogue, ghetto, railroad, camp, attic) to less well known sites (forest, sea & mountain, river, road, displaced persons camp). Holocaust Landscapes provides a new perspective surrounding the shifting geographies & histories of this continent-wide event. ...
