DOC An Empire of Facts: Colonial Power; Cultural Knowledge; and Islam in Algeria; 1870-1914 (Critical Perspectives on Empire) by George R. Trumbull IV in History

Description

First published in 1955; with a revised edition appearing five years later; H. G. Adler's Theresienstadt; 1941-1945 is a foundational work in the field of Holocaust studies. As the first scholarly monograph to describe the particulars of a single camp - the Jewish ghetto in the Czech city of Terezin - it is the single most detailed and comprehensive account of any concentration camp. Adler; a survivor of the camp; divides the book into three sections: a history of the ghetto; a detailed institutional and social analysis of the camp; and an attempt to understand the psychology of the perpetrators and the victims. A collaborative effort between the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Terezin Publishing Project makes this authoritative text on Holocaust history available for the first time in the English language; with a new afterword by the author's son Jeremy Adler.
