No. 6 (2020): Narrations of the Shoah 2020, no. 6: The Shoah and other genocides

The present issue is devoted to the accounts of other genocides and their relationships with representations of the Holocaust.
In the current issue of our journal we encouraged the contributors to reflect in-depth on the subject, to assimilate lesser known approaches in the domestic context, and to work out their own proposals. We are especially interested in reflection on the description methodology and in answering the question whether the research should be embedded in the field of postcolonial and comparative studies, or rather discard all comparisons and make the Holocaust only a starting point for separate investigations. At the same time, we intend to draw attention to issues that have yet to be sufficiently developed; we publish case studies devoted to the representations of Nazi camps for Soviet prisoners of war, reports on the situation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in concentration camps, and articles intervening in narratives about the Romani genocide, or providing insights on how to understand the Rwandan genocide thanks to the inspirational reading of Jean Hatzfeld’s reportages.
