Opis

The relationship between Germans and Jews has been a difficult one throughout history. Pol O Dochartaigh examines this relationship, encompassing both German and Jewish perspectives. He also looks at efforts both to remember the Holocaust, and to forget it, movement towards recompense and reparation, and the survival of antisemitism.
