Agency and the Holocaust - Essays in Honor of Deborah Dwork (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)

The book assembles case studies on the human dimension of the Holocaust as illuminated in the academic work of preeminent Holocaust scholar Deborah Dwork, the founding director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, home of the first doctoral program focusing solely on the Holocaust and other genocides. Written by fourteen of her former doctoral students, its chapters explore how agency, a key category in recent Holocaust studies and the work of Dwork, works in a variety of different 'small' settings - such as a specific locale or region, an organization, or a group of individuals.
