Beskrivning

A total of 160,000 people, a mix of résistants and Jews, were deported from France to camps in Central and Eastern Europe during the Second World War. In this compelling new study, Philip Nord addresses how the Deportation, as it came to be known, was remembered after the war and how Deportation memory from the very outset, became politicized against the backdrop of changing domestic and international contexts. He shows how the Deportation generated competing narratives - Jewish, Catholic, Communist, and Gaullist - and analyzes the stories told by and about deportees after the war and how these stories were given form in literature, art, film, monuments, and ceremonials.

Recensioner i media

'American historians of France strike again, as Philip Nord has powerfully unsettled our history. His book explains the evolving memories of resistance heroes and martyrs and victims of the Holocaust with unmatched political, intellectual, cultural and artistic subtlety.' Annette Becker, author of Messengers of Disaster: Raphael Lemkin, Jan Karski and Genocides
