| Summary: | During the Nazi regime many children and youth living in Europe found their lives uprooted by Nazi policies, resulting in their relocation around the globe. The Young Victims of the Nazi Regime is a significant attempt to represent the diversity of their experiences, covering a range of non-European perspectives on the Second World War and aspects of memory. The book is unique in that it places the experiences of children and youth in a transnational context, shifting the conversation of displacement and refuge to countries that have remained under-examined in a comparative context. Featuring essays from a wide range of international experts in the field, it analyzes these themes in three sections, the flight and migration of children and youth to countries including England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya and Brazil, the experiences of children and youth who remained in Nazi Europe and became victims of war, displacement and deportation and finally the challenges of rebuilding lives and representing war traumas in the immediate and recent postwar periods respectively. In its comparisons between Jewish and non-Jewish experiences and how these intersected and diverged, it revisits debates about cultural genocide through the separation of families and communities, as well as contributing new perspectives on forced labor, families and the Holocaust and Germans as war victims. |
