Forty years before the war of annihilation in eastern Europe and the Holocaust, German colonial troops in German South West Africa perpetrated the first genocide of the twentieth century. From Windhoek to Auschwitz? interrogates the relationship between colonialism and National Socialism, using genocide, the 'racial state', and systems of forced labour as points of departure for comparative observation. The book is an indispensable document in the intensive debate among German and international scholars about the postcolonial expansion of German history, and it offers a fresh look at the history of colonialism and also the 'Third Reich'.

Cent ans après les faits, le génocide des Arméniens n'est toujours pas reconnu par la Turquie, héritière de l'Empire ottoman. Devenu au cours du XXe siècle un enjeu politique, le génocide est, dans le cas arménien, non seulement un objet d'Histoire mais aussi un objet politisé, ce qui influe sur les formes de ses représentations et les discours historiographiques, et détermine les textes et les discours qu'il a produits. Les contributions de cet ouvrage proposent une approche pluridisciplinaire, analysant à la fois la réception de l'événement en France et les formes de ses représentations dans la littérature et les arts. Si la négation du génocide s'est constituée en politique d'État en Turquie, la société civile progresse vers la reconnaissance, initiant un dialogue des mémoires arménienne et turque. Ces lectures croisées invitent à un parcours heuristique au cours duquel l'événement 1915 est mis en tension dans le temps de l'Histoire collective et individuelle et dans les différents espaces qu'il occupe. Alors que l'Arménie est le pays garant de la transmission, la Turquie continue à en porter les stigmates béants et la diaspora, éclatée de par le monde, explore un deuil infini.

The displaced are often rendered silent and invisible as they journey in search of refuge. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, Iraq, Syria, UK, Germany, France, the Balkan Peninsula, US, Canada, Australia, and Kenya, the contributions to this volume draw attention to refugees, asylum seekers, exiles, and forced migrants as individual subjects with memories, hopes, needs, rights, and a prospective place in collective memory. The book's wide-ranging theoretical, literary, artistic, and autobiographical contributions appeal to scholarly and lay readers who share concerns about the fate of the displaced in relation to the emplaced in this age of mass mobility.

"More Nights Than Days is a unique exploration of the experience of children who survived the Holocaust-including Roma and Sinti victims-and the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. Children are among the principal victims of armed conflicts and slaughters; nonetheless, they perceive events through the prism of their unique perspective and have a range of coping techniques adults don't possess.This overview of writings of ninety-one child survivors bears evidence from a wide range of human ruthlessness. The author presents little-known texts along with famous memoirs and autobiographical fiction, with abundant quotations. Many of these are not only compelling as historical testimony, but poetic and stirringly expressive. Yudit Kiss has not written a historical study or literary criticism of the children's books. She explores, instead, what the authors went through and what they felt and understood about their experience. An accessible and captivating reading, this volume presents a close-up, human size dimension of the destruction. The books written by child survivors also describe the resources and means that helped them to remain human even in the deepest well of inhumanity, offering precious lessons about resistance and resilience"--
