The Palgrave Handbook of Australia and the Holocaust

This Palgrave Handbook offers the first comprehensive survey of the history and memory of the Holocaust in Australia.Divided into four parts, the handbook covers key historical connections between Australia and the events of the Holocaust, including the preceding refugee crisis and the aftermath.It then traces the reverberations of these events in forms of representation, commemoration and memorialisation.Finally, chapters that contextualise Australian responses to the Holocaust within the longer history of colonialism in Australia bring the handbook into contemporary debates on the relationship between the Holocaust and genocide.The handbook thus brings together the now substantial research on Australia and the Holocaust into a single volume, whilst also augmenting this body of work through the inclusion of new and cutting-edge research by established and emerging scholars.
