Recenzje

'this is an important book, and Wermenbol's meticulous research will be of insight and good use to scholars … It is the merit of Wermenbol to have written an important book on a most difficult topic, thus expanding the scholarship on the memory relations of the Holocaust and the Nakba.' Alon Confino, The Middle East Journal
