Holocaust Studies in Translation

About the Series

Holocaust Studies in Translation, an interdisciplinary book series published in association with Cornell University Press, aims to make cutting-edge scholarship from Eastern Europe accessible to an English-speaking audience.

Scholarship published in Eastern Europe contributes significantly to our understanding of the Holocaust, but to date, the audience for this work has been limited by language barriers. Translating such work into English increases its accessibility, which in turn promotes new research projects and facilitates communication among scholars from different countries. The series draws attention to research emerging from the region that was at the epicenter of the Holocaust and where scholarship continues to face significant obstacles.

The first set of books currently underway features scholarship originally published in Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine on diverse topics, including the development and evolution of key Holocaust sites, local responses to the unfolding persecution, and postwar representations of the Holocaust.

The series is edited by the Museum’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies. Holocaust Studies in Translation is funded in part with assistance from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, sponsored by the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future,” and supported by the German Federal Ministry of Finance.
